As the clock struck midnight and heralded the onset of a new year in Abhishek Bachchan’s life, Twitter abounded with a wave of endearments led by none other than his legendary father, superstar Amitabh Bachchan. This heartfelt digital embrace held a sentiment that transcended the bonds of father and son and reminded fans of the unwavering legacy of love within the Bachchan family.
Within the churning sea of tweets, Big B’s message stood as a lighthouse, reaffirming his pride and devotion to his son. The tweets encapsulated a sentiment of never-ending support as the veteran actor expressed, “Abhishek… ‘bhaiyu’… you are the best… your variety, your sincerity in all you do… shall NEVER GO UNREWARDED… NEVER!! My everlasting LOVE.. Varsh nav, harsh nav, jeevan utkarsh nav.”
An accompanying video repost showed a fan’s adulation towards the birthday boy, further amplifying the celebratory message that cascaded from Amitabh’s Twitter handle. Yet the festivities were not contained to the Bachchan patriarch alone; the familial love fest mushroomed throughout social media. Shweta Bachchan and her daughter Navya Naveli Nanda joined the chorus of well-wishers, weaving their own warm birthday sentiments into the fabric of the internet.
Mingled with the digital felicitations was a sincere admiration for Abhishek’s recent portrayal in the film ‘Ghoomer’. The day preceding his birthday, Amitabh did not shy away from showering accolades upon his progeny, taking to Instagram with the film’s poster and a note glistening with parental pride: “My prayers my admiration and love to you Abhishek… you make me so proud… most deserving… not just this, but many more past present and future.”
‘Ghoomer’ — marking a significant notch in Abhishek’s acting career — charts the journey of a cricket mentor championing the cause of a young, differently-abled cricketer, with Saiyami Kher stepping into those shoes while Shabana Azmi and Angad Bedi share screen space in meaningful roles. The senior Bachchan’s review touched on the emotional undercurrent of the film: from the familial dynamic it portrayed to the insights it relayed about middle India’s ethos. He reminisced about having watched the film back to back, twice in a single day, with his admiration and emotions in torrential flow from the opening scene.
Amitabh Bachchan’s commendation mirrored the sentiment that ‘Ghoomer’ could, and indeed did, evoke an endearing appeal for its heart-felt storytelling that extended beyond cricket’s pitch to the resonance of family values — values that the Bachchans have always held in high regale. His recollection of the film encapsulated a mixture of enchantment and wonder, a stark reminder of the intangible rewards art and kinship can yield.
As the tributes continue to pour in, Abhishek Bachchan stands at the cusp of another promising year, both personally and professionally. With the warmth of his family’s love and the acclamation of his recent work basking upon him, it is evident that the bachchan scion’s trajectory is geared to uphold, if not accentuate, the luminous legacy he hails from.
As the Bachchans herald in “varsh nav, harsh nav, jeevan utkarsh nav” — a new year, new joy, and new peaks in life — one thing is invariably clear: In the Bachchan household, when one soars, they all take flight. On this special day, Big B’s blessings encapsulate more than just a father’s wish; they carry forward an emblem of cinematic royalty, and a timeless tradition of familial bonds that even the silver screen can scarce contain.
