The megastar of Bollywood, actor Amitabh Bachchan rang in his 79th birthday today, and he did it in style.

The actor visited one of Pandit’s luxurious penthouses where the early celebrations took place. Big B, who is also an avid social media user and regularly updates his fans about his life. So it is only natural that his first birthday post would come from the actor himself.

However, it seems that he got his age wrong on his birthday post. Bachchan, who turns 79 today, wrote he is turning 80. His daughter Shweta Bachchan took to the comment section to correct his error. She simply dropped a comment that read, “79th ♥️

Apart from that, his granddaughter Navya, actors Ranveer Singh and Bhumi Pednekar and others too commented on the post.
