It is known to the most that Amitabh Bachchan was once on the edge of bankruptcy after his production house Amitabh Bachchan Cooperation Ltd encountered some huge losses. However, he thrived through the tough times and did a successful comeback with Mohabbatein.
Talking on the same, the actor recalled the tough times in an interview that took place in 2013, he said, “I paid back one and all, including Doordarshan. When they asked for the interest component, I did commercials in lieu for them. I can never forget how creditors used to land at our door, be abusive, threatening and demanding, and worse still, when they came for ‘kudkee’ at Prateeksha, our residence,”
He also added, “Without a doubt that was one of the darkest moments in my 44-year professional career. It made me sit and think, I looked at the options before me and evaluated different scenarios. The answer came pat – I know how to act. I got up and walked to Yashji (Chopra, filmmaker), who stayed behind my house. I implored him to give me work. That is when the worm turned, he gave me Mohabbatein.”
