  • Amitabh Bachchan Shares His First Job Application Picture, Says 'No Wonder I Was Rejected'

Amitabh Bachchan keeps sharing updates and photos with fans through his social media handles.

 

The latest Instagram post of Big B is an old picture of the actor himself. Amitabh claims the picture was part of his portfolio in the early phase of his career and we all know that he was rejected at first.

 

Sharing the old picture where he is dressed in an off white kurta pyjama, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, “My application picture for a job in movies .. 1968.. no wonder I was rejected.”

 

Amitabh Bachchan’s first film was 1969 film Saat Hindustani. In many interviews, Big B has shared how he was rejected several times and had to face a lot of struggle in the initial phase of his acting career.
