Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan gets religion

Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan says he has become religious after lifelong medical problems, including a crippling neuromuscular disease and a filming accident that mangled a hand, a newspaper reported today.

Bachchan, a Hindu, is the most recognisable face in India’s Bollywood, the world’s biggest movie industry by viewership and the number of films it churns out. He has appeared in more than 150 movies over three decades.
