Kolkata:

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan took a trip down memory lane on Gurupurab on Thursday, and recalled his early days in Allahabad, his Sikh ancestry and how his mother, a Sikh, recited the Gurbani to him.

The 546th birth anniversary of the founder of Sikh religion, Guru Nanak Dev, was celebrated on Thursday across India and abroad, including neighbouring Pakistan.

On his official Facebook page, the silver screen icon reminisced about his mother, a Sikh, singing the Gurbani (hymn) to him.

"Those early years in Allahabad, when Ma recited and sang the eternal pious and divine words of the Gurbani, in my ears 'tati vaar na jaavaee'. My mother as you know, a Sikh, Teji Kaur Suri, my grandfather Sardar Khazan Singh Suri, my Grandmother a Sodhi, and whose family, her brothers and my mother's mama's were the Prabandhaks of the Anantpur Sahib Gurudwara," Big B posted.

Mr Bachchan arrived in Kolkata on Sunday to shoot for Vicky Donor director Shoojit Sircar's upcoming film Piku, where he plays father to Deepika Padukone.

The 71-year-old earlier greeted his fans on Twitter.
