Amitabh Bachchan's rare pictures

Amitabh Bachchan

Teji Bachchan, who died at 93 in 2007, was a professor of psychology who became involved in India's struggle for independence. She was reportedly so committed to the fight for freedom that baby Amitabh was in danger of being named Inquilaab for a while. Mrs Bachchan became a social activist after independence and was appointed a director of the Film Finance Corporation in 1973. She played Lady Macbeth in her husband Harivansh Rai's Hindi adaptaion of Macbeth and even made a cameo appearance in Kabhi Kabhie which starred her son Amitabh.
