Amitabh Bachchan takes trip down memory lane, talks of earning Rs 1640 in 1968 and living with eight roommates

In a social media post on Tuesday night, renowned actor Amitabh Bachchan recalled earning Rs. 1640 per month and living in a cramped room with his gang of lads.

While sharing a screenshot of his income and last-day data, Big B said that those days in Calcutta, now Kolkata were full of freedom, the most autonomous times ever. He described how eight people stayed in a 'ten by ten' space. He remembers those days fondly and recalls how, after office hours, he would spend the evenings with the men checking out famous places. There was no money to enter them, only the dream that they might someday, and now they have.

He continued when in his now profession, shooting in the city, going-round the same places, now being invited to them, and the change, meeting those old times and people and giving them the desired promise of yore, seeing all the ancient roads of residence in midnight and recollecting every other spot and what happened there, some not so happy but generally all in the goodness of events, some friends lost, some of those times still around, nostalgia, and now he has new friends, an enduring love that is loaded with feeling, and a terrific job.
