Aaradhya Bachchan celebrated her birthday recently and pictures of the event have been on the internet lately. The most prominent figure missing in the pictures is her grand father, Amitabh Bachchan.

It seems that he was in Kolkata, shooting for his next film, Piku. "Sundays have a special place in the mind and heart .. that of the meeting of the well wishers on the doors of Jalsa .. and to say that i do not miss it would be so wrong .. I miss it and the roar of affection and love ... BUT, here in Kolkata, had a large taste of it when I left the work in the evening .. the people and their love still amazes me .. I often wonder there are so many others which deserve to get all this and they do.. so mine should diminish or not be there at all .. at 73 , this is not correct I would say .. not correct in a way that says it is past the time and place for it .. so let it disappear and evaporate like most other ..." wrote Amitabh, along with pictures he posted of him and his ardent fans.

"There have been some greats on set today.. the great and legendary Saurav Ganguly, India's pride on the Cricket field .. And then the maestro Niladri Kumar, the incredible sitarist, one whose music remains permanently on my music platforms and systems.. Such an honour to be in their company," he added.
