As
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
turned
79
on
Monday,
the
veteran
actor
said
his
heart
was
"throbbing
with
excitement" because
of
the
love
of
his
fans
and
well
wishers.
Bachchan
penned
a
blog
post
on
Sunday
night,
writing
that
it
would
be
impossible
for
him
to
acknowledge
every
wish
but
he
was
touched
by
the
messages
from
his
fans.
"The
intensity
of
the
greetings
is
abundant
and
wide
and
filled
with
the
warmth
of
affection.
This
is
held
together
by
the
fond
remembrances
that
we
share
over
the
years...
its
bond
is
unbreakable,
resolute
and
firm.
For
this
my
(heart)," he
wrote.
Bachchan
is
arguably
one
of
the
biggest
icons
of
Indian
cinema
who
enjoys
a
massive,
loyal
fan
following
across
all
ages.
The
actor
has
stayed
relevant
through
decades,
starting
out
as
the
on-screen
Angry
Young
Man
in
the
70s,
venturing
into
television
in
the
early
2000s
and
experimenting
with
author
backed
roles
created
for
him
by
current
generation
of
writers
and
filmmakers.
Last
year,
he
also
made
his
streaming
debut
when
his
film
Gulabo
Sitabo
became
one
of
the
first
mainstream
projects
to
premiere
digitally
due
to
the
coronavirus-induced
nationwide
lockdown.
Bachchan
wrote
each
message
sent
by
his
fans
means
a
lot
to
him.
"Throbbing
with
the
excitement
of
your
love.
It
shall
be
impossible
to
acknowledge
all
of
you
in
the
personal
equation.
But
I
know
you
do
understand
that
I
understand
your
greeting
and
that
is
eventually
what
matters.
I
walk
with
the
pride
of
your
following...
and
your
love," he
added.
The
actor
also
took
to
Instagram
and
posted
a
picture
of
himself,
writing,
"walking
into
the
80th."
To
which
his
daughter,
Shweta
Bachchan,
replied,
"79th" with
a
heart
emoticon.
A
recipient
of
four
National
Awards,
Bachchan
completed
five
decades

2019.
The
same
year,
he
also
received
the
Dadasaheb
Phalke
Award,
Indian
cinema's
highest
honour,
in
a
special
ceremony
at
the
Rashtrapati
Bhavan.
Having
made
his
debut
with
the
