He recalled the times when producers rejected him due to his height and facial features. He shared these interesting facts on the stage of the popular television show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' Season 18.

Amitabh said that when he was trying to find opportunities in the beginning of his career, the producers told him two things. "First, you are too tall, no heroine will agree to act opposite you. Second, your face looks very small," he explained. He said that 

these comments made him think a lot. He said that he chose a way to overcome the problem of having a small face in particular. He shared his memories of that time when he wanted to look a little fuller, and grew his hair up to his scalp.

Amitabh Bachchan made his silver screen debut in 1969 with the film 'Saat Hindustani'. Although he gained recognition with that film, stardom did not come easily. His career went through ups and downs for a few years. 

However, the film 'Zanjeer', which came in 1973, completely changed his career. With this film, he emerged as the 'Angry Young Man' of Bollywood and gained immense popularity across the country.

Interestingly, what the producers considered as shortcomings and obstacles in the beginning of his career, later became the reason for Amitabh Bachchan's screen presence and his iconic image. 

His extraordinary height, majestic appearance, and powerful voice left an indelible mark on Indian cinema. These experiences shared by him are inspiring today's young actors who are facing many challenges.
