Vijayendra Kumeria: I am a big fan of Shri Amitabh Bachchan. Not only is he a great actor but he has always set good examples of professionalism and hard work. He is a well-read and well-spoken man and is always updated with current affairs. Whatever I have heard of him from the people in the industry, about his punctuality, his approach towards every scene, and his dedication at this age is so inspiring as an actor. He was down with COVID and all his fans were praying for him and we all knew that the fighter will be back in good health. He is a man with great will power and looks at him hosting KBC now with the same aura, charisma. No one can beat him. He is, in the true sense, the Shahenshah as he rules our hearts for decades.
Aniruddh Dave: The quality and variation that Bachchan Sahab carries in his craft and acting skills are amazing. He maintained his consistency but along with that, he played different patterns, different characters, and different roles. I have got a chance to share the same stage with him twice and both the times I have seen something new in him like some new energy and enthusiasm. After he returned recovered from COVID he wrote a poem ‘Lautna Padta hai’, it is amazing. His attitude and approach to life is like that. No one can replace Bachchan Sahab in the Bollywood industry. I am very happy and fortunate that I have got a chance to work with him, I feel so good. Will always pray for his health. And yes he is the Shahenshah and he will always be. My favourite films would be ‘Sholay’, ‘Hum’, ‘Laawaris’ and in recent times it would be ‘Pink’.
Sucheeta Trivedi: My all-time favourite is his recital of his dad’s poem especially Agneepath. What inspires me most about his journey is that he has faced setbacks so many times in his life, personally and professionally, but due to his right approach towards life and his career he has soared to never-ending heights of unreal success. Jeet ka dusra naam hi Shri Amitabh Bachan hain. I wish him a very happy 78th birthday.
Shamin Mannan: To say Amitabh Bachahn sir is an epitome of Indian cinema is an understatement. He is an iconic personality and a great actor who has inspired so many other actors and people to do better in life and keep working on your craft no matter how big you become. I have heard that he never takes his work for granted and he suggests directors to take retakes of him so that he can get better with every take. The way he is so dedicated even at this age, he is the only superstar of his age now to be so active and working. The actor in him is always hungry, which is such a great thing to learn. Being such a huge star he is still so grounded and modest. Even if I achieve 10 percent of what he has achieved my life would be complete and dreams fulfilled. He is so enthusiastic about his craft and it’s so inspiring. He is a warrior who fought COVID so bravely and is back on the set. Hats off to his never giving up attitude. My favourite film of him is ‘Deewaar’ and ‘Sholay’, but I have watched and loved all his films.
Aishwarya Sharma: I would like to wish Amitabh Bachchan sir a happy 78th birthday. He is the king of Bollywood and I can’t describe him in words. I just admire him a lot, he is an inspiration for all of us. I just want to be like him, he is so talented and dedicated. I want to keep working like him whatever age I am at. I don’t think I can name just one movie of his as my favourite. From ‘Sholay’ to ‘Deewaar’ and ‘Piku’, I have lo…
