``` Fear and superstardom rarely go hand in hand, but Amitabh Bachchan recently revealed a behind-the-scenes moment from his 1978 film *Ganga Ki Saugandh* that proves even legends have their vulnerable instants. The iconic "Angry Young Man" was petrified when asked to ride a horse over a bridge spanning the mighty Ganga river during the shoot in Rishikesh[1]. Amitabh Bachchan recounted that when the director told him to ride the horse across the bridge, the sight of the turbulent river beneath made him so anxious that he immediately started singing the *Ganga aarti*—a devotional chant—hoping to calm his nerves. In his nervousness, he kicked the horse, which suddenly bolted, safely carrying him over the bridge despite his fear[1][2]. This amusing anecdote paints a rare picture of the superstar's humility and human side, far from the fearless warrior roles he played on screen. He even reminisced about his childhood fears, joking that as a nursery kid he was once made to dress as a baby chick, which had audiences in splits—a charming insight into Big B's journey from a timid boy to Bollywood's powerhouse[1]. This story not only exemplifies the courage behind the scenes but also illuminates the passion and spirit required to bring such iconic films to life. Amitabh Bachchan's candidness in sharing this moment on the quiz show *Kaun Banega Crorepati* adds a delightful layer of relatability to his legendary status[2].
