5 Bachchan-isms We Have All Imbibed Irrespective Of Age

Four decades ago, he could pulverise 10 baddies with one punch. Or even with a well-delivered dialogue (cue: Tum mera wahan intezaar kar rahe the…). Bollywood’s #AngryYoungMan may not be so young any more but boy, oh boy, that swag.

The generation which either wanted to be him or wanted him as the special someone in their lives is today well-rounded gramps and grannies but Mr Bachchan soldiers on. He was recently seen in Sarkar 3, and he will soon be seen in Thugs of Hindostan. Not to forget his smiling visage on billboards, advising you to buy a number of products.

How can you get that kind of public admiration and love, critical and box office success at this age? You can’t, unless you are Amitabh Bachchan .

At one point or another, we have all wanted to be him. Whether it was in the privacy of our bathrooms or in front of the mirror or at the request of our friends, we have done our own favourite Bachchan thing.

We bring you our five favourite Bachchan-isms that probably all Indians have tried one time or another. If you haven’t, we advise you to go online, check his best works and watch them. Again.

1. ‘Hain’

This one needs no explanation and you need no excuse to do it. Just remember to fix that expression on your face and move your hand just so.

2. That dance step

Amitabh has done it successfully. Other actors have tried it less successfully. And you have done it hilariously at weddings/birthday parties/dancing during and after drink parties. Hell, even Roger Federer and Pete Sampras have done it. Amitabh Bachchan dance step is a thing.
