The actor while extending his wishes and remembering his golden words, wrote, “Happy Birthday Dadaji. It would have been my grandfathers’ 113th birthday today. I work and pray, that I can honour and live up to your legacy. Miss you dearly.” Abhishek’s friends were quick enough to comment under the post while offering their wishes and love. Suniel Shetty, Bobby Deol, Chitrangada Singh, and many more showered their love under the post with many hearts shaped emoticons.
Apart from Abhishek, senior actor Amitabh Bachchan also gave a tribute to his father with some rare and unseen pictures. On this special occasion, Amitabh Bachchan has shared a picture of his father adorned with flowers and garlands and praised his famous image. He wrote in the caption, sharing a sentence said by the father- "I want to write great poetry, not epic!" Further, he also offered his love to his father and wrote, “But he not only wrote great poetry and also composed" epic "in the form of autobiography. Bachchan ji's place among India's most popular poets is secured.”
T 3735 - "मैं महान काव्य लिखना चाहता हूँ, महाकाव्य नहीं !" पर उन्होंने महान काव्य ही नहीं लिखा आत्मकथा के रूप में "महाकाव्य" भी रचा है। गद्यात्मक महाकाव्य .... महाकाव्य में पर -चरित होता है, इसमें स्वचरित है।
