Amitabh Bachchan was innocence personified, posing with a slight smile, hair near-perfectly set, in his first photoshoot for the Star & Style magazine in 1969, the year he had debuted in the film industry. The Shahenshah shared that the ‘most reticent reluctant and very self-conscious’ newcomer was ‘pushed and goaded into’ by journalist Devayani Chaubal for the photoshoot. The 77-year-old humbly stated that there was no ‘star or style’ in the project.

My very first photo shoot for a film magazine after joining the Industry in 1969 .. it was for the ‘Star & Style’ the only other prominent film mag., along with 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 - Devayani 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 !!!
