Amitabh Bachchan wishes son Abhishek on his 49th Birthday

Abhishek Bachchan is celebrating his 49th Birthday today, 5th February and his father and veteran actor, Amitabh Bachchan has wished him in the sweetest way possible.

Amitabh Bachchan shared a rare, nostalgic black-and-white photograph from 1976, the year Abhishek was born. The heartwarming image, posted on Amitabh’s blog, captures a young Big B in a maternity ward, surrounded by nurses.

In the photo, a newborn Abhishek, wrapped in a cloth, rests near an infant incubator. Amitabh, radiating warmth and affection, gazes lovingly at his newborn son. He is casually dressed in a striped sweater, trousers, and a watch, with a tender expression on his face.

The picture, filled with raw emotion, offers a glimpse into the cherished moment of fatherhood, reminding fans of Amitabh’s journey as a proud parent.

Accompanying the photo, the legendary actor wrote, "Tonight will be a late one… Abhishek turns 49, and his new year begins... February 5, 1976. Time has flown by so quickly…”

He continued, "Sometimes, there’s a desire to stir the mind and share thoughts, but with information so readily available everywhere, many interpretations can distort the message… So…"

He further mentioned that he preferred to keep his thoughts private rather than expressing them, saying, "It’s not about the power of silence, but the comfort of knowing your opinions are yours, not scattered to others… For sharing can often lead to unintended consequences… Work. Enjoy. The best time is the one you cherish."

Abhishek Bachchan made his acting debut in 2000 with Refugee, starring alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan. Although his early films didn’t achieve commercial success, it was the 2004 blockbuster Dhoom that marked a turning point in his career, earning him widespread recognition.

Abhishek was last seen in I want to Talk which was directed by Shoojit Sircar. The actor has Housefull 5 and King in his pipeline.

For the unversed, Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan hold a Guinness World Record as the first father-son pair to feature in numerous films together. They also earned recognition for their unique role reversal in the 2009 film Paa.
