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.

He wrote, "Happy bday to the half-turn of Deewar, simmering of Shakti, hesitation of Main Azad Hoon, slurring of Amar Akbar Anthony, swag of Don, eyes of Nishabd, helplessness of Khakee, anger of Namak Haram, loneliness of Mili, quipping of Sholay, silence of Sarkar & stubbornness of Alaap."

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wished Big B on X too. She wrote, "Wishing the legendary Amitabh Bachchan Ji a very happy birthday! May you be blessed with continued good health, happiness, and many more inspirational years for us all. I cherish the affectionate relationship I share with Amitabh ji since 1984 when we both became first-time Members of the Indian Parliament. It is our honour that he and Jaya Ji have enriched us many times by their graceful presence in the Kolkata International Film Festival. Many Happy Returns of the Day, Amitabh ji!"

As always, fans gathered outside his Mumbai bungalow, Jalsa, to catch a glimpse of the superstar on his birthday.
