Happy Birthday Ronit Roy and Amitabh Bachchan!

Today BollyCurry welcomes you to the birthday celebrations of two Shahenshahs! On one hand, we have the one and only Amitabh Bachchan, fondly known as Big B, and on the other is Ronit Roy, the Shahenshah of Indian television!

Born on 11th October 1965, Ronit Roy is the eldest son of Brothindranath and Dolly Bose Roy. Rohit Roy, also a TV and Bollywood actor, is his younger brother. Roy initially studied hotel management before moving to Mumbai. He stayed at Subhash Ghai's house, where he was slowly introduced to the film industry. He is married to Neelam Singh. He has 2 daughters and a son. Roy started his career with Jaan Tere Naam (1992), which was a commercial success. He went on to star in many hit movies including Hulchul (1995), Army (1996), and Khatron Ke Khiladi (2001). Roy became well known due to his role in Ekta Kapoor's Kasautii Zindagii Kay and then went on to become a hit in fiction shows with superhit roles in Kyunki Sas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kavyanjali, Bandini, and the currently airing Adaalat. He also took part in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (2007). Roy has come back to movies as well, winning Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award for his role of Bhairav Singh in Udaan (2010). He was well-appreciated for his role in Student of the Year (2012), his villainous role in Boss (2013), and his role as Krish's father in 2 States (2014). He has Ugly and Guddu Rangeela in the pipeline and both are set to release today.

On his birthday, here is a small playlist of songs from his top movies:

Bachchan was born in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh to Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Teji Bachchan. He is married to actress Jaya Bhaduri and they have two children: Shweta Nanda and Abhishek Bachchan. Bachchan tasted success early in his career with his supporting role in Anand (1971). He also played a villainous role in Parwaana (1971), which was much appreciated, but his biggest break came with Zanjeer (1973), which also earned him the persona of "angry young man". Bachchan has had many superhit movies in his long career including Abhimaan (1973), Namak Haraam (1973), Chupke Chupke (1975), Sholay (1975), Kabhi Kabhie (1976), Parvarish (1977), Don (1978), Silsila (1981), Namak Halaal (1982), Coolie (1983), Shahenshah (1988), Agneepath (1990), Mohabbatein (2000), Baghban (2003), Black (2005), Cheeni Kum (2007), Bhoothnath (2008), Paa (2009) and Bhoothnath Returns (2014). He currently has Welcome Back, Piku, and DO in the pipeline, which are all set to release in 2015.
