Senior Bachchan was elated to receive such a surprise from his family and he was seen getting emotional on set, trying to hold his tears.
As Sweta Bachchan was not well, so she could not come to the sets of KBC to wish her father, instead, she too sent a message for him. It was a video which had pictures of her with her father right from her childhood to her marriage. Bachchan Sir went on a rollercoaster ride of emotions on seeing those pictures.
Jaya also came to surprise him on the set. The two reminisced as old family pictures, and Shweta and Abhishek's childhood photos were being played on screen.
Jaya Bachchan disclosed that the Bachchans do not cut cakes on birthdays, so the actor chose to cut a milk cake toward the conclusion of the programme, instead of a traditional cake. Additionally, they skip the birthday song. Instead, they say "Varsh Nav, Harsh Nav, Jeevan Utkarsh Nav," which is what Amitabh's father Harivansh Rai Bachchan used to say.
