Bollywood actor, Amitabh Bachchan has worked so hard in the industry that he has established a name for himself as well as his family. Son of the veteran poet, Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan and social activist, Teji Bachchan, Amitabh was pretty much close to his parents. He often termed them as his source of inspiration.
In January 2021, to mark his late parents, Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Teji Bachchan’s wedding anniversary, the veteran actor, Amitabh Bachchan had taken to his Twitter handle to pen a heartfelt note. He had shared a throwback picture of his beautiful mother and one with him and his father in the frame. Posting the pictures, he had tweeted, "Past the midnight of the 23rd and the 24th has begun... the Wedding Anniversary of Ma and Babuji. 24th January 1942... a marriage that broke barriers, systems created the acceptance of the name Bachchan, beyond caste and creed... and brought me into this wide world."
