Amitabh Bachchan is one of the few actors who has repeatedly proved that age is just a number for him. Big B is quite active both on and off-screen, even in his 80s. Recently, the legendary actor returned to hosting as he launched the 16th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati.
During his birthday celebrations on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati 15 last year, Amitabh Bachchan experienced an emotional moment. He could not hold back his tears after witnessing everyone grandly mark his special day and receiving heartfelt messages from his fellow celebs and admirers. Big B was spotted searching for tissues as he got overwhelmed by the precious surprises.
In the episode of the quiz-based show, Sr. Bachchan folded his hands to thank the audience as well as the team of his show for putting in effort to make his day memorable. His eyes welled-up as he stated, “Aur kitna rulayenge aap, ab bas kardo. Mai sabh ko tissue deta hu, aaj meri baari aagai (How much more will you make me cry? I used to give everyone tissues, but now I need one).” The 82-year-old actor shared that his birthdays celebrated on the KBC platform are the best.
Besides this heart-touching moment, viewers also saw musical performances and celebrities like Vidya Balan, Vicky Kaushal, Chiranjeevi, and Boman Irani, conveying their wishes to the iconic actor. Former KBC winners Babi Tawde, Himani Bundela, and Jaskaran Singh also participated in the celebration. Audiences were seen donning hoodies featuring Amitabh’s image.
