You never know when and what social media will remind you of. One such forgotten memory is going viral on social media these days. In this, four great men of 70-80s are seen in one picture. Three of them have gone into oblivion forever, but the fourth legend still shines and will shine forever. This legend is none other than Amitabh Bachchan himself. There is hardly anyone born in India in the 70s-80s who has not seen the movie Mukaddar Ka Sikandar. Released in 1978, Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Rakhi, Rekha and Amjad Khan entertained everyone with their brilliant acting. The film’s song “Rote Huy Aate Hain Sab…” became a favorite among bike riders over the years. The song features Premier Padmini, Rajdoot, Chetak Scooter and Amitabh Bachchan in a single moment. People may have seen this moment in the song many times, but hardly anyone paid attention to these other three legends at this particular moment. Let’s know about these legends…
Premier Padmini-The journey of Premier Padmini began in the year 1964. Padmini car model at that time was Fiat-1100 Delight. This was a powerful 1200 cc car. This Italian brand car was manufactured in India by Premier Automobile Limited. In 1970, his name was changed to Premier President. It was later renamed as Premier Padmini after Queen Padmini. The company stopped its production in the year 2001. Lal Bahadur Shastri also wanted to buy this car, but he did not have enough money. In 1964, the car cost 12 thousand rupees and Shastri had only 7 thousand rupees. Shastri had to take a loan from Punjab National Bank to buy this car. However, he died before he could repay the loan and the remaining loan was paid off by his wife. According to media reports, superstar Rajinikanth is also a fan of this car. Rajinikanth’s first car was Padmini, which he still owns.
This bike was also seen in Shehenshah
Ambassador-Whenever vintage bikes are talked about, one motorcycle is always mentioned and that is the Ambassador. Escorts company brought Ambassador to India and the company along with Yamaha expanded its business here. Escorts’ motorcycle division launched the Envoy game from 1962, consisting of Envoy 125cc and Envoy GTS 175. The Ambassador came to India with Yamaha and created a niche in the Indian market. At that time, the ambassador influenced the business of companies like Infield and created an identity that is still remembered today. Amitabh Bachchan used this bike in many films. This bike can also be seen in Shehenshah.
Chetak Scooter- Bajaj Auto launched the Chetak scooter in the year 1972. The scooter was named after Maharana Pratap’s horse Chetak. In 1972, the company launched 1000 units of Chetak in the market. Their price was kept between 8 to 10 thousand rupees. It was so popular that people had to wait a long time to get it. Even girls were crazy about this scooter. In 1977, Bajaj sold 1 lakh units for the first time. While in 1986 this figure reached 8 lakh. The price of Chetak, which started from 8 thousand rupees, reached about 31 thousand rupees in 2005. Meanwhile, Honda launched its Activa scooter. It came in the market with many advanced features compared to Chetak. After this Chetak was left behind and the company stopped the production of this scooter in the year 2005.
Amitabh Bachchan-Amitabh Bachchan is known today as the megastar of the century. Today he has cars, bungalows, wealth and fame, but the beginning was not easy for him either. Big B wanted to be a news reader before entering the filmy Safar race. He tried hard for this … but was rejected. All India Radio rejected her saying her voice was too heavy. Here I was disappointed but did not lose heart. This path led him to his first film ‘Sat Hindustani’. After this he gradually became the king of the film world. On June 7, a new poster of megastar Amitabh Bachchan in Ashwaththama Avatar was released on social media. The actor can be seen holding his astra and wearing a divine gem on his forehead. Ashwatthama looks attractive and ready for battle. He is standing in the middle of the battlefield and behind him is a life-size vehicle, with several people lying on the ground. This was the poster of the movie Kalki. Now its trailer has also arrived. Fans are eager to see Amitabh Bachchan once again.
