As he does every year, Amitabh also stepped out of his Jalsa residence to greet fans who had gathered outside to celebrate his birthday. Standing in front of a giant garland put together by his fans, the actor waved to the cheering crowd. He was dressed in a red kurta and a matching shawl.
The birthday celebrations also made their way to Kaun Banega Crorepati.

A warm hug between Amitabh and Abhishek was one of the lovely moments from the episode.
Amitabh has a busy schedule ahead. He is currently shooting for Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 and has often spoken about how his hectic work routine leaves him with little time to sleep. He will also return as Ashwatthama in the sequel to Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD, which stars Prabhas and Kamal Haasan.
