The 'Shehenshah' of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan is celebrating his 77th birthday today, and the Indian film industry is wishing the Millenium star on his birthday. Filmmaker Karan Johar, actors Ajay Devgn, Tiger Shroff, Ram Charan Teja, and others wishes the superstar on his birthday.
Karan Johar shared a picture of Big B on Instagram and wrote, "I was a 3 or 4 years old when I began to realise the magnitude of the man....subsequently I had the privilege of growing up around him ... I was first told I must always touch his feet as a mark of respect...but very soon after it came absolutely naturally to me...in fact it’s now a reflex action when I see him and I can never stop myself ( even when i know my pants are perhaps a tad tight and it could result in an embarrassing tear) I call him Amit uncle( with great pride...almost patting my back because I have the right to this familiarity) and he will always be like a father figure to me....I probably can never be entirely myself around him because that starstruck kid with big awestruck eyes every time he walked into a room has never ever left me...and never will...I fainted the First time I had to work him and am not sure things have changed even today...I faint a little in my head everytime I meet him and then compose myself so I can play act serious filmmaker again! Amitabh Bachchan is my hugest inspiration ...his child like enthusiasm for everything he does...his paramount passion for every tiny detail...his ambition to keep achieving after being the ambassador of achievement ...what do I say...there will never be a man and legend like him ever again! And there shouldn’t be....he has earned the place of mega movie star monopoly! Happy birthday Amit uncle! We love you so much...."
Ajay Devgn who worked with Amitabh Bachchan in Major Shab, also wishes the actor and wrote, "Wish you many happy returns of the day Amitji @SrBachchan".
