Amitabh Bachchan shares throwback pictures from younger days: The age of innocence is over

Amitabh Bachchan was once called the angry young man of Bollywood. Despite being 77 years old, the Megastar is among the most handsome men in the industry. But he was a different game in his early days, as is proved by his latest social media post.

Big B treated his fans to a collage of two of his old pictures on Wednesday. He wrote, "The age of innocence is over (sic)."

The picture on the left side of the collage is from the actor's first photoshoot for a magazine. In the second photo, Amitabh appears relatively older and it seems it is from some photoshoot from the late '70s or '80s.

A few days ago, Amitabh Bachchan shared another photo from his first photoshoot for a magazine clicked in 1969. He wrote, "My very first photoshoot for a film magazine after joining the Industry in 1969... It was for the Star & Style, the only other prominent film magazine along with the Filmfare at the time... I was pushed and goaded into - a most reticent reluctant and very self-conscious shy me - by the most famed and feared journalist of the times - Devyani Chaubal... Obviously there was no 'star' or 'style' in the project but Devyani thought so... A strong-minded lady, ever dressed in a shining white sari... Always! (sic)."
