In the topical for Big B's 80th birthday, we could see Amitabh Bachchan seated on the 'hot seat' of his popular quizzing show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' while the Amul girl held a small birthday cake for him. "Bachchpan se aapke fan hain," read the header text, making a witty reference to his last name. "Amul - John Jaani Janamdin ka treat," was the tagline.
"Wishing the Big B a healthy and happy 80th birthday," wrote the brand on its official Twitter handle. The post has received several likes, comments and retweets. "An inspiration and favorite of all generations! We love Bachchan," wrote one Twitter user in the comments section.
