On This Day: Amitabh Bachchan awarded ‘Actor of the Century’; Nawaz Sharif returned from exile and more

SUMMARY

On September 10, 2001, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan was honoured with the 'Actor of The Century' award at the Alexandria International Film Festival in Egypt for his contribution to the world of cinema. On the same day in 2008, the Large Hadron Collider (the world’s largest particle collider) conducted its first test operation. The 18-mile (27 km) experimental machine, which passes through the French-Swiss border, discovered the Higgs Boson particle (the god particle), an elementary particle in physics. Here are some more events that make September 10 a special day in world history.
