There are numerous ways in which Amitabh Bachchan has touched the lives of his fans and friends—sometimes through his films, and at other times, through his benevolence. And there can’t be a better occasion than his birthday to thank the megastar for it. Ahead of his 81st birthday on October 11, the Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) team shot a special episode that has Vidya Balan, Chiranjeevi, Vicky Kaushal, Anupam Kher and Boman Irani conveying their warm wishes to him.
For the episode that will be aired tomorrow, the team brought in sarod maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan to surprise the actor.
“Ustad Amjad Ali Khan presented a medley of songs. Then, to the megastar’s surprise, actors Vidya, Chiranjeevi, Vicky, Anupam and Boman wished him through video messages. While he has worked with Vidya on Paa [2009], Te3n [2016] and many more, he had a guest appearance in Chiranjeevi’s Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy [2019]. Big B recently collaborated with Anupam and Boman on Uunchai [2022]. All of them spoke warmly about how he had inspired their love for acting,” reveals a source.
The legend was teary-eyed by the outpouring of love. “Usually I am the one who gives people tissues, but now, it’s my turn,” he quipped, before adding that he holds the birthday celebrations on the KBC set closest to his heart. Last year, Jaya and Abhishek Bachchan had featured in the special birthday episode.
