Amitabh Bachchan celebrates his 80th birthday today. He has a fascinating filmography of over 200 movies but what really stays with the people is his spirited nature – in spite of having fallen to the depths of despair, he had the spiritual strength to climb right back up to the pinnacle once again.

All of the roles he has played over the years keep with them the essence of him – his powerful aura, unmistakable baritone and perfect dialogue delivery.

On his 80th birthday, crowds of fans gathered outside his bungalow in Juhu, Mumbai, to wish their hero.

Happy Birthday, Big B! May you have many more!!❤️
