Here's how Abhishek joined Big B's bday bash

The megastar Amitabh Bachchan turns 81 today. The actor has had a long and successful career at the movies and is still going strong. Yesterday at midnight, the actor had a candid meet and greet with his fans, where he acknowledged everyone's wishes. His son Abhishek, who was out of town, too, was part of the celebrations, although virtually. His doting wife Aishwarya video called him, giving a peek into the celebrations.

A fan club on X even shared the video saying, "You can see #AishwaryaRaiBachchan, Navya and Aaradhya in the background proudly taking videos and video calling as @SrBachchan greets his numerous fans outside on his birthday eve.

Happy birthday again sir, may there be many, many more to come! 🎉" The junior B even replied to the video and said, "Yup, wifey showing me what's going on. 😉". Have a look here...
