Amitabh Bachchan, who turns 77 today, has a lot to talk about when it comes to celebrating his birthday.  During a recent interview, when asked how he wants to celebrate his birthday this year, the veteran actor was quick to reply, “What is there to celebrate? It’s a day like any other. I’m grateful that I am still working, that my body is able to keep pace with my spirit.”  The actor asked his well wishers to pray for his good health. 

Amitabh Bachchan reminisced his childhood birthdays, when his father and renowned poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan would compose and recite poems on the special occasion.  Amitabh Bachchan also recalled after his life threatening injury on the sets of Coolie, his father broke down while reciting poems on his birthday.

Amitabh Bachchan also revealed how the birthday rituals changed over the years and said, “My father’s poetry is much missed, as is my mother’s excitement on that day. The annual ritual of cake cutting no longer interests me. It has been replaced by a plate of dry fruits.”

Even though the actor refuses to celebrate his birthday, Amitabh Bachchan’s social media pages are flooded with birthday wishes from around the world.
