On
the
occasion
of
Harivanshrai
Bachchan's
107th
birth
anniversary,
his
son
and
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
called
him
a
'unique
genius',
and
also
remembered
one
time
when
the
noted
poet
called
him
his
'best
poetry'.
"Babuji,
my
Father
born
November
27,
1907
…tomorrow
his
birthday!
A
unique
genius...A
man
of
immense
letters...words,
thoughts
and
several
unknown
deeds...born
and
brought
up
in
extreme
poverty...earning
his
living
with
Rs.20
per
month...and
then
creating
some
of
the
most
extraordinary
writings
in
literary
India," Amitabh
Bachchan
posted
on
his
official
blog
srbachchan.tumblr.com
on
Wednesday.
"My
Father...who
dedicated
one
of
his
comments
to
me
...'Amitabh
is
my
best
poetry',"
the
actor
added.
The
72-year-old
star
is
often
seen
reciting
his
father's
popular
works
'Madhushala' and
'Madhukalash'.
The
actor
heaped
praises
on
his
dad's
work
in
his
blog.
"A
man
of
immense
will
power...
stories
of
which
I
have
narrated
earlier...
a
man
who
designed
his
own
tunes
to
his
poems
and
sang
them
himself
to
lakhs
of
captivated
audiences
the
world
over,"
Amitabh
Bachchan
posted.
Amitabh,
who
enjoys
a
wide
fan
base
and
is
called
the
'Shahenshah'
of
Bollywood,
also
recalled
his
humble
roots.
"They
brought
me
home
wrapped
in
a
'gudadi',
a
very
rough
clothing
cheap,
in
a
'tonga',
a
horse
driven
carriage,
an
earlier
substitute
for
a
taxi
or
an
auto
rickshaw
or
even
a
rickshaw
peddled
by
man...rickshaws
in
Kolkata
are
pulled
by
men,
physically," he
said.
