Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has sent her best wishes to her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan on her and her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan's behalf, on the actor's 83rd birthday. The actress is known to annually pen a birthday wish for the legendary star on his birthday on social media.
The actress took to her Instagram a few minutes before midnight and just in time for Big B's birthday. She shared a heartwarming picture of her father-in-law and her daughter. She wrote in the caption, "Happy Birthday dearest Pa-Dadajiii. Love and God bless always".
This comes when rumours of the actress' alleged separation from husband Abhishek Bachchan keep making rounds. However, the couple have made joint public appearances and shared warm photos, which many interpret as efforts to quell the rumours.
The speculations of their separation started when the couple arrived separately at an event in the city. A wide section of the media has reported back then that the reason behind the trouble in their paradise was Abhishek's alleged affair with actress Nimrat Kaur during the shooting of Dasvi.
Many big names from the film fraternity have penned adorable birthday wishes for the legend. Big B's Kalki 2898 AD co-star Prabhas compiled a heartfelt wish saying, "Happy birthday amitabhbachchan sir. It's a privilege to witness your legacy and work alongside you. Wishing you a wonderful year ahead, Sir. Happy Happy Happy Birthday. (sic)."
Kajol also dropped a rare photo with Amitabh and wrote, "Happy birthday to the reigning and forever rockstar SrBachchan .. May u have many more reasons to smile and laugh this year."
Recalling his experience of directing Big B in Runway, Ajay Devgn penned, "The toughest task was saying 'cut'when sir delivered a shot...Happy Birthday Amit Ji (Folded hands and red heart emoji) SrBachchan."
Treating the netizens with a throwback pic with the stalwart, Suniel Shetty added, "To the man who defines greatness⦠Happy Birthday SrBachchan. You've inspired me and million others in ways words can't describe, with your strength, grace, and spirit. Always a fan⦠always in awe."
Farhan Akhtar, who recently appeared in Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 with father Javed Akhtar, shared, "Happy birthday Amit uncle. What a pleasure and privilege it was to be with you on your birthday special. Listening to you and dad reminisce about your life and times together was an absolute treat. The experience in itself is more valuable than any amount that one can hope to win on the show. (folded hands emoji)Wish you good health and happiness always. Lots of love. (red heart emoji)"
Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha wished Amitabh using the following words, "Many many happy returns of the day for our icon, role model, for everybody SrBachchan."
