Today
(October
11,
2021),
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
turned
a
year
older
and
in
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
senior
journalist,
he
opened
up
about
his
most
memorable
birthday
celebration.
And
guess
what?
Not
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan,
but
Abhishek
Bachchan's
ex-girlfriend
Karisma
Kapoor
was
a
part
of
that
birthday
celebration.
While
speaking
to
Subhash
K
Jha,
Amitabh
recalled,
"If
you
will
insist
on
me
putting
a
finger
on
it
there
will
be
two.
One,
after
my
accident
in
1982,
when
my
father
traditionally
recited
the
poem
he
had
written
for
me
and
breaking
down
while
reciting
it.
It
was
a
rare
sight.
I
never
saw
him
move
to
tears
on
any
occasion.
But
Oct
11,
1982,
was
a
date
many
felt
I
would
not
be
alive
to
witness.
Those
were
the
feelings
that
the
poem
expressed
and
it
was
far
too
emotional
for
my
father
to
bear."
He
further
said,
"The
second
most
memorable
birthday
was
my
60th
birthday
and
the
effort
that
Jaya
made
in
making
it
memorable
for
me.
The
book
she
brought
out,
'To
B
or
not
to
B',
and
the
labour
that
went
into
it,
the
arrangements
and
detailing
she
did
in
celebrating
the
evening
with
the
friends
and
fans
at
a
party
she
organised
single
handed."
For
the
unversed,
at
the
60th
birthday
celebration
of
Big
B,
Jaya
Bachchan
had
announced
Karisma
Kapoor
as
her
would-be
daughter-in-law.
Karisma
who
was
also
present
at
Big
B's
60th
birthday
celebration,
had
greeted
the
media
as
Abhishek's
fiancée
and
expressed
her
happiness
towards
her
new
journey
with
the
Bachchans.
However,
luck
had
something
else
in
store
for
Karisma
and
Abhishek,
and
the
duo
couldn't
marry
each
other.
While
Karisma
tied
the
knot
with
Sunjay
Kapur,
Abhishek
got
married
to
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan.
Unfortunately,
Karisma's
marriage
with
Sunjay
turned
kaput
and
the
duo
parted
ways
on
a
bitter
note.
