For Jaya Bachchan, her daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda shared an endearing birthday post on Instagram. Instead of a throwback picture, Shweta picked a photo from one of the recent events, for which Jaya Bachchan, 71 today, wore a white suit while Shweta was dressed in a black saree. "O Captain! My Captain!" she captioned it alluding to Walt Whitman's poem. On the other hand, Shweta's actor brother Abhishek shared a throwback picture of Jaya Bachchan and wrote: "Ma. The word says it all. Happy Birthday Ma. Love you." In few words, Shweta and Abhishek described the role Jaya Bachchan plays in their lives and that's just adorable.

On Monday, Shweta also hosted an intimate dinner party for Jaya Bachchan and she invited some of her mother's close friends.
