Amitabh Bachchan is celebrating his 79th birthday today.

Happy Birthday, Amitabh Bachchan. As the megastar turns a year older, cinema lovers and colleagues of the actor cannot wait to celebrate him. But as fans are flooding the Internet with wishes, posts and pictures for his 79th birthday, Big B – as he is fondly referred to by fans – is waiting to enter his eighties like a boss. Giving us a glimpse of just how he intends to welcome the new decade of his life, Amitabh Bachchan shared a picture on Instagram. In it, the actor is seen dressed impeccably, as always, in smart casual wear.   One look at the photo and we are tempted to say “eighties is the new twenties.” Sir, looking at you through a different lens taught me what being a true artiste is.Happy Birthday dear Amitji@SrBachchanpic.twitter.com/v3V5qhQO3w Wishing My Beloved Big Brother, My forever Guru, the One and Only Amit Ji @SrBachchan a very Happy Birthday.

Sharing the picture, Amitabh Bachchan said in the caption, “Walking into the 80th.” The legendary actor's daughter, author-entrepreneur Shweta Bachchan Nanda reminded him that he was still a year short of the eighties and wrote, “79th,” with a heart emoji. Shweta's daughter, Navya Naveli Nanda, made her approval for her granddad's post clear with a high-five emoji. After all, Amitabh Bachchan is the walking definition of swag in the picture.

Even the who's who of Bollywood could not stop raving about the new photo. A self-confessed Amitabh Bachchan fan, Ranveer Singh said, “Gangster.” Bhumi Pednekar also used the opportunity to wish the superstar. She wrote, “Swag. Happy birthday sir.”

Actress Aahana Kumra spoke for all of us when she said, “Maaha Naayak (The great actor).”
