Bhopal, March 05: Is Big B the reincarnation of his grand father? The Bollywood superstar’s father and noted poet Harivanshrai Bachchan at least believed so.
“Did my father truly believe that I was the incarnation of his own father. A year after the passing away of my grandfather Pratap Narain, my father (Harivanshrai) dreamt of him one night. He felt his absence in his life, expressed it and was told by his father to wake up, for he was coming back to him.
“Startled, my father got up to find my mother missing from the bed. She had gone to the washroom and had collapsed there through her labor pains. It was October 11, 1942, the day I was born!! In his autobiography, there is vivid description of the incident and the belief in my being that reincarnation,” the 68-year-old actor said.
