Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan will never step into the political arena again despite intense pressure, according to a book.
The reference is made in Madhya Pradesh's young and eminent film reviewer Sunil Mishra's latest book 'Ajay Mahanayak', a roughly 125-page account centred on Bachchan, capturing various aspects of the cinestar's personality and containing several interesting details.
The volume contains an analysis, of Bachchan's character and achievements, by former and contemporary film personalities.
It mentions that, during the 2004 general elections, speculation was rife that Bachchan might contest on a Samajwadi Party ticket.
But it soon become clear that it was a case of once smitten twice shy. Bachchan's political chapter seemed closed after his wife Jaya entered Rajya Sabha portals through the SP quota.
Referring to Bachchan's recent illness, the author mentions that prayers were offered across India and in several other parts of the world for the well-being of 'Shahenshah'.
The 'Don', now in his sixties, appeared to even leave youthful actors behind when he danced to the runaway hit number 'Kajrare kajrare tere kare kare naina' in the movie 'Bunty aur Bubbly'.
Bachchan, who has been reigning over fans' hearts for over three decades, was witness to the social and economic struggle in his family in the early years.
As a child, he would take brother Ajitabh along while cycling to school. During the journey, he would not lord over his younger sibling but instead introduce him to the reality of their surroundings.
Bachchan's late father Harivansh Rai, of 'Madhushala' fame, wanted to christen him Inquilab but renowned poet Sumitranandan Pant suggested the name Amitabh.
At the age of 58, he did not hesitate from performing a daredevil leap in the film 'Aks'. Until last year, Bachchan had 120 releases to his credit.
