He wrote, “He will remain the most inspiring story in the world of entertainment! Words alone cannot describe his achievements...we are all honoured to be able to watch his genius unravel in front of our eyes! Congratulations to the proud son.” Karan’s tweet came in response to Abhishek’s post.

I've been a @SrBachchan fan for 44 of my 46 yrs, & I'm still kinda FOMO-ing about not having known his films for my first 2 yrs! I'm fortunate to have known & hung with him, but even for those of my generation who haven't, those films & songs define us! #50YearsOfAmitabhBachchan
