Amitabh Bachchan shares his photo as a baby in a then-and-now post, internet calls it ‘the original swagger’

Actor Amitabh Bachchan is pretty active on Instagram as is evident from the frequency of his posts. On Sunday, he posted a then-and-now picture with a rather funny expression on his face. One of the pictures in the collage, which was from the past, was one when the veteran actor was but a toddler.

Sharing it, he wrote: “... that be me .. then ..... that be me .. now .. NOW ?” The black and white picture shows him as a baby. He has a thick layer of kaajal around his eyes, as is still the practice in many parts of India. The contemporary Amitabh has a funny and surprised look on his face, seeing his own childhood picture.

Many fans wrote in to express their feelings. One called it ‘the original swagger’, while another wrote ‘still young! dynamic! evergreen’. His Brahmastra co-star Mouni Roy dropped a bunch of emojis in the comments section.
