Amitabh Bachchan’s name says it all. The global artist, who has been an inspiration to many people from various walks of life, turns 80 today, October 11, and his fans all over the world are in awe. On his 80th birthday, Amitabh Bachchan is being showered with love and well wishes from all corners. Almost everyone has wished the living legend a happy birthday, from family members and fans to industry friends and colleagues.
To commemorate his birthday, film festivals are being held across India, with tickets priced at Rs 80 so that everyone can relive the magic on the big screen.
Celebrities are equally ecstatic. They discuss Amitabh Bachchan’s film, which they want to see in theatres and why. On his birthday, they also send him the following message:
‘Somy Ali’ wishing BigB says - After meeting Amit ji when I was seven years old, I had the pleasure of seeing him again in Nepal. He was on set for Khuddar. I wish him a very happy birthday, good health, and peace of mind. For millions of people around the world, he is a legend. There is no one like him, and I don't think anyone will ever have as much talent and star power as Amit ji. It's not just about being a fantastic actor, but also about being so successful and grounded. His humility is unusual among actors of his calibre. He is simply amazing, and everything about him is simple enough to leave anyone speechless. Idon’t believe there will ever be another Amit ji. Words cannot adequately describe his aura.
‘Megha Kishore’ wishing BigB says - It's the birthday of Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan Ji. I wish him a very Happy Birthday, as well as good health and a long and prosperous life. He began his career in 1969 and has made significant contributions to Indian cinema. He has been entertaining us with his wonderful work for 53 years, and the world adores him. While I'm talking about Amitabh Bachchan's 80th birthday, the Film Heritage Foundation is organising a four-day festival of 11 of his most iconic films. I'm very excited to see his films in theatres. I'll watch his film Abhimaan out of the 11 because it is based on the life of a singer and I can completely relate to it.
‘Shaan Mishra’ wishing BigB says - I'd like to extend my best wishes to Mr. Bachchan on his birthday. He is a living legend who always spreads love, life, and peace. He inspires not only me, but the entire country. He's shown us that age is just a number. Sholay, Deewar, Don, Trishul, Kabhi-Kabhi, Mukkandar Ka Sikandar, Kalia, and Coolie are among his films that I'd like to see. I wish the Big B a very happy, healthy, and blessed life for the rest of his life. Sir, I adore you.
‘Hiten Paintal’ wishing BigB says - Yes, Mr Bachchan turns 80 on October 11. Aside from being my father's friend and having worked on many films with him, I am a huge fan. I've met him several times, interacted with him, and worked with him on a Parker pen advertisement. I had a fantastic time working with him. I am overjoyed that the Amitabh Bachchan festival will be held throughout India, with tickets starting at Rs. 80. I adore all of his films, particularly 'Namak Halal' and 'Satte Pe Satta.' Not only because my father was present, but also because it was a fantastic film. I would definitely go see all of his movies. On October 9, there was a festival, and my father was invited to see the film ‘Satte Pe Satta’ at the PVR, which was thrilling. I’d like to encourage those who haven’t seen Amitabh Sir’s films in theatres to do so because it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. ‘I want to pray to God to bless you with good health and lots of success, and you continue to entertain and inspire us every day, Amit Uncle.’ Always be the charismatic, amazing human being you have been, and I wish you another 100 years. ‘Happy birthday, Uncle Amit’.
‘Nivedita Basu’ wishing BigB says - So, Amitabh Bachchan's brother, Mr. Ajitabh Bachchan, is a close friend of mine. So, whenever we meet, we take a trivia question from him and some interesting stories from their childhood. He told us about the accident and how strong Mr. Bachchan is both mentally and physically, and how he recovered from a major internal injury. I don't think there's a single person in this country who doesn't know and admire Amitabh Bachchan. Satte Pe Satta is one of his films that I particularly enjoy; it was released when we were in college, I believe.
