Happy birthday Junior Bachchan!

MUMBAI: It’s time for celebrations at the Bachchan residence, as Abhishek Bachchan is celebrating his 42nd birthday today (Monday).

Born to Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, also known as Big B, and Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek began his journey of stardom with movie ‘Refugee’ in 2000.

Having to wait for his share of success, many of Abhishek’s initial films did not fare well at the box office.

However, he soon got the recognition and fame that he deserved with ‘Guru’, after which he successfully portrayed powerful roles in ‘Bunty aur Babli’, ‘Bol Bachchan’, ‘Sarkaar’ and ‘Dhoom 3’.

He has won several coveted awards including the Filmfare award for ‘Yuva’ (2004), ‘Sarkar’ (2006) and ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’ (2006) as the Best Actor in a Supporting Role.

On the occasion of his son’s birthday Amitabh Bachchan reminiscing his childhood days wrote on his blog: “It is beyond thought that the one that sat in wonder by the steps of the house on location, two front fingers in his mouth, hair independent of any set fashion hanging loosely over his broad forehead, a warm jacket keeping the cold of the hills at bay .. watching his father shoot for his profession, silently.”

We wish Abhishek Bachchan all the best for his future and a very happy birthday too!
