Amitabh Bachchan
Has enjoyed the one number spot for nearly 30 years since 1975. This talented actor with his deep sonorous voice, and his towering presence brought life to the many roles he played, excelling as a brooding and powerful action hero and a much-loved and outrageous comic hero. His recent films aren't the top blockbusters they used to be, but his popularity is unrivalled. When audiences seemed to tire of the Big B's brand of heroism, he began presenting Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Hindi version of 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire', topping the ratings charts. In 2000, Amitabh Bachchan was voted the star of the millennium in a BBC Online poll, with Laurence Oliver in second place.
