Amitabh Bachchan, who made his Bollywood debut in 1969 with Saat Hindustani, was most recently seen in the film Goodbye.

Amitabh Bachchan, arguably the biggest star in Hindi cinema, turns 80 on Tuesday.
Bachchan has been in the show business for over five decades and has dabbled in nearly every medium, including but not limited to television. Many celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan, have cited him as an inspiration over the years. Big B has consistently managed to reinvent himself over the years and remain relevant in a business that is all about change.

On this day, when the superstar will celebrate his birthday, we talked about Mr Bachchan’s personality with none other than his youngest son (in the film world) from his most recent release.

Abhishekh Khan who plays Nakul the youngest son of Mr Bachchan talks about his aura, fun on set and much more in an exclusive chat with absolute India News.

Talking about working with Big B Abhishekh said “I became a fan of Amitabh sir while working on this film. I have always had respect for Amitabh sir but I fell in love with him after seeing how amazingly he never behaved like Amitabh Bachchan. He never treated us differently. He was very self-aware of the fact that we are all just actors at the end of the day. He has something about him that made me fall in love with him.”

The actor continuous and said “It was really amazing working with him”

Later Abhishekh shares how he and Big B had fun on set, “One day, we finished the shoot early and decided to have some fun, so Amitabh sir said, ‘I will make you listen to some music,’ and he began playing the music, and I was sitting facing his back, so I began dancing and imitating him. Even at the end of the shoot, we had a party named DJ Bachchan, and Amitabh sir was the DJ for the night.”

The actor also shared how Big B was surprised to know that a person from the younger generation like Abhishekh is not on social media, “at the end of the movie sir was very happy that both he and I are using Tumblr” the actor said.

Note, Big B, who turns 80 today, has been a superstar for decades, winning numerous awards for his outstanding performance. He has given the Hindi film industry a wide range of films in various genres.
