Megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan,
who
has
been
very
active
on
Twitter,
marked
his
786th
day
on
the
social
networking
site.
He
reveals
the
mystery
behind
the
number
786,
since
it's
been
a
lucky
number
to
him.
Recalling
his
Coolie
and
Deewar
days,
the
Big
B
tweeted,
"T

-
In
Deewar
the
786
Billa
in
his
coat
pocket
saved
him
when
he
was
shot
at
..
when
it
dropped
out
in
the
climax,
he
was
shot
and
died."
The
number
786
is
associated
with
Islam,
as
a
substitution
for
the
phrase
'bismillah
ir-rahman
ir-rahim'
(in
the
name
of
Allah,
the
compassionate,
the
merciful).
"T

The
Muslim
brothers
and
sisters
when
they
write
on
paper
always
write

on
top
as
an
auspicious
beginning

the
number."
Several
Bollywood
films
are
closely
associated
with
this
special
number.
If
we
remember,
Shahrukh
Khan's
character
Veer
Pratap
Singh
in
Veer
Zara
also
bore
the
prisoner
number
786.
In
fact,
in
the
movie
Once
Upon
a
Time
In
Mumbaai,
Ajay
Devgn's
car's
registration
number
was
also
786.
