For Amitabh Bachchan, his Guru was his father, legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Sharing a throwback picture with his father, Big B paid his respects to his 'Babuji' by quoting his verses. The Piku star also shared a line from poet Kabir on how Guru is the 'solace when God is unhappy', but when the Guru himself is unhappy there is ‘no comforting solace.’

The veteran also wrote, “Without the guru, there be no knowledge; without knowledge there be no sacrament,; without sacrament there be no culture; without culture there be no conduct; without conduct there be no respect; without respect there be no humanness," as he conveyed his greetings on the occasion and respects to his father.
