Amitabh Bachchan: Who is the real me, difficult to explain

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has played many roles in his career spanning over four decades but finds it really difficult to explain his real self.
Amitabh Bachchan, who will be seen playing the role of a social activist in forthcoming Satyagraha, has played diverse roles of an angry young policeman in Zanjeer, a don in Don (1978), jovial botany professor in Chupke Chupke to a professor with alzhiemer's disease in award winning Black.
"An actor does don many (roles), professionally. But which the real is and which not, shall always remain a mystery, not just for those that observe him from the outside, but for the actor himself," Amitabh Bachchan wrote on his blog.
"It is often asked of us, 'Who the real Mr Bachchan is?' and it is often replied with an inconclusive, incomplete and an utterly unconvincing response. Not because there is difficulty in finding an adequate reply, but that there really is none," he added.
The actor said that there 'are more than one person behind that name.'
"The question itself is in many respects incongruous. There is a touch of insinuation in the asking, because the person seeking response, has determined beyond all reasonable doubt that there are more than one person behind that name. This is objectionable in a funny sort of way," he wrote.
