Send your best wishes to Amitabh Bachchan, who celebrated his 69th birthday on Tuesday.
 

Bachchan, who greeted fans outside his home, said, "Sometimes I feel strange at the sets because there is a gap of 30-40 years (between him and the other artistes). But I like their enthusiasm. Our Hindi film industry is progressing. The artistes today are very talented. I hope I will continue to learn from them."

"I feel strange sometimes to work with young actors," says Amitabh Bachchan, who celebrated his 69th birthday on Tuesday.
"I am old compared to today's generation of actors. When I go to the sets, I find mostly youngsters in the 25-30 age group while I am entering my 70th year," Bachchan told reporters outside his Juhu residence.

Bachchan, who greeted fans outside his home, said, "Sometimes I feel strange at the sets because there is a gap of 30-40 years (between him and the other artistes). But I like their enthusiasm. Our Hindi film industry is progressing. The artistes today are very talented. I hope I will continue to learn from them."

Bachchan said his birthday would be a quiet affair with wife Jaya and family. His son Abhishek, who is shooting in Jaipur, will join the actor for the day and then it is back to work.

Earlier, the actor, a regular blogger, mused about his birth, life and career with his online fans.

"One of the best ways to bring in birthdays is to be working at what you need to be working on. I work because I need to," Bachchan wrote.

Bachchan is busy shooting for Ram Gopal Varma's 'Department'.

The actor returned home at midnight after shooting for the diwali episodes of KBC and said he could just make it home in time for the clock to strike 12 and for the family to wish him. "The greatest joys of life are in the simple wishes," he said.
