Happy Birthday Amitabh Bachchan: Child Co-Stars Share Heartwarming Memories of Working with ‘Amit Uncle’

Amitabh Bachchan, affectionately known as the ‘Shahenshah’ of Bollywood, Happy Birthday Amitabh Bachchan turns 81 today, and as India celebrates the iconic actor’s birthday, we delve into the heartwarming memories of some of his young co-stars who had the privilege of working with him during their childhood. These stars, now all grown up, share touching anecdotes about their time on set and the special bond they formed with the megastar.

“I remember the first time I met him on set; I was not aware of his classics like ‘Sholay’ or ‘Shahenshah,’ but I loved ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ and remembered him from that,” recalls one former child co-star. “He started cracking jokes with me, and even as a kid, I was aware of his stardom. I would just play with him on sets, and he would teach me how to deliver my dialogues between takes. He even sent chocolates for me once. Now, I am 25 and have had the pleasure of working with him in a few ads. I wish him a very happy birthday!”

Another co-star recollects the initial fear before meeting Amitabh Bachchan, saying, “I was scared before I met him for the first time, whether I would be able to act or not. But he was incredibly welcoming, like a friend throughout the shoot. He even joked around with me during takes, making the whole experience unforgettable. I’m 23 now, and I’ve met him a couple of times after the film, as he encouraged me to stay in touch. He even watched and appreciated my film ‘Killa.’ I will continue to wish him well on his birthday.”

The camaraderie between Amitabh Bachchan and his young co-stars is a testament to the megastar’s enduring appeal and his ability to connect with people of all ages. As Bollywood celebrates this legendary actor’s 81st birthday, it’s heartwarming to see the impact he has had on those who had the privilege of sharing the screen with him during their formative years.

In an industry where stars often remain distant from their co-stars, Amitabh Bachchan’s warmth and affable nature have left an indelible mark on the memories of these former child artists, who now join fans across the country in wishing him a joyous and memorable 81st birthday.
