The award for the best birthday wish goes to Navya Naveli Nanda. The young entrepreneur has shared a set of two pictures to wish her “nana”, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, a very happy birthday. Big B turned 81 on Wednesday. In the pics, we can see Amitabh Bachchan and Navya sharing a warm hug. They look adorable. The next one is a happy selfie. Don't miss Big B's uber-cool glasses. Sharing the photographs on Instagram, Navya wrote, “Happy Birthday, Nana [a black heart emoji.].” Replying to the post, Maheep Kapoor dropped red hearts.
Navya Naveli Nanda's mother, Shweta Bachchan Nanda has shared a picture from the midnight birthday celebration for her superstar father. In the pic, we can see Amitabh Bachchan with his wife, veteran actress Jaya Bachchan, and their grandchildren - Navya, Agastya and Aaradhya. Shweta's caption read, "May you always be surrounded by love."
Shweta Bachchan Nanda also shared a collage to celebrate her father. In the pic, Amitabh, dressed in a vibrant jacket and joggers, is seen hugging Shweta. Her birthday message read, “Happy 81st, papa. Big shoes ( and hugs ) no one can ever manage to fill.” Navya was among the first to drop a bunch of red hearts under the post. Maheep Kapoor, Neha Dhupia and Zoya Akhtar followed suit. FYI: Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda will make his Bollywood debut with Zoya Akhtar's The Archies. Actor Chunky Panday wrote, “Happy Happy birthday dear Amit[abh Bachchan] ji.” Actress Katrina Kaif simply wrote a “happy birthday” note for the legend. Ranveer Singh also picked a series of red hearts to wish Big B.
Amitabh Bachchan, on his birthday eve, greeted fans waiting outside his Mumbai residence, Jalsa. In a video, shared by a fan page on social media, we can see the actor expressing his heartfelt gratitude to everyone.
To mark the special day, the makers of Kalki 2898 - AD have shared the first-look poster of Amitabh Bachchan's character in the film. The actor is carrying a mysterious look.
