Actors Jaya Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan celebrated Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday in the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 14. The veteran actor turned 80 on October 11. While wife Jaya and son Abhishek surprised Amitabh on the sets of KBC 14, his daughter-in-law, actor Aishwarya Rai and his granddaughter Aaradhya Bachchan sent him birthday wishes through a video message.
Amitabh’s daughter Shweta Bachchan, granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda and grandson Agastya Nanda virtually shared their birthday wishes.
The veteran actor had no idea about the ceremony and the birthday special planned by his family and was seen getting emotional as his family and friends were seen holding back tears showering him with praise and love in their sweet birthday tribute. The most special moment on the show came courtesy of Aishwarya and Aaradhya Bachchan.
The mother-daughter duo began by joining hands and greeting ‘pa (father)’ and ‘dadaji (grandfather)’ in namaste. They said, “Aapko janadin ki bohut, bohut shubhkamnaye, hum par hamesha apka ashirvad bana rahe, dher sara pyar (wishing you a very happy birthday, may we always have your blessings, sending you lots of love).”
In the special KBC 14 episode, Jaya showered Amitabh with love as she surprised him on the sets. After hugging each other, they took a trip down memory lane as family photos from their earlier days and from Shweta and Abhishek’s childhood, played out on screen.
Jaya wished him, “Happy birthday, husband.” In Hindi she spoke, “I know everyone loves Amit ji a lot, I don’t know if I love him any less or more, but I too love him a lot.” Fans wished Amitabh his milestone birthday.
During the KBC 14 special episode, Abhishek Bachchan revealed that they had been planning Amitabh’s birthday surprise for days and it was difficult to keep it a secret from the veteran actor. He also said that he and his mother Jaya were ready at 6 am on the day of the shoot, but could not get out of their room before Amitabh left home for the sets of KBC 14. Abhishek added that they reached the sets and hid until called to the show.
