Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who had opted for the science stream in college, said he realised his mistake after attending one lecture. He also revealed
how much did he score in BSc after failing it once?
Amitabh, who graduated from the University of Delhi’s Kirori Mal College, disclosed on the TV Show “Kaun Banega Crorepati 16” that he only scored 42 percent in his BSc exam. As time showed, however, this score did not reflect his potential and led to a realisation of his true calling in the entertainment industry.
In Hindi he said, “BSc kar liya hum bhi bina jaane ki kya hota Bsc. Science main ache number aaye toh hum apply kardiye. (I did BSc without knowing what it was. I scored well in Science (earlier) and hence applied for it.)”
The thespian shared that in the first lecture, he understood that he made a mistake.
“10 saal main humne seekha tha science main scope hai woh 45 minutes main khatam kardiya.” (I had always heard that there is scope in science. In just 45 minutes, it changed everything).

“Paheli baar jab gaye toh fail hogaye… Fir se jaakar diya jawaab toh badhi mushkil se 42 percent aaya humara. Bach gaye!” (The first time I failed… then when I attempted with great difficulty, I scored 42 percent. Got saved! ), said Amitabh, who graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1962.
In 1969, Amitabh made his film debut as a voice narrator in Mrinal Sen’s National Award-winning film Bhuvan Shome. He then starred as an actor in Saat Hindustani.
