Farhan Akhtar marked Amitabh Bachchan’s 83rd birthday with a touching post on social media, sharing a behind-the-scenes photo from a special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati aired on October 10, 2025. The episode featured Farhan and his father, legendary lyricist-screenwriter Javed Akhtar, as special guests, celebrating not only Bachchan’s milestone birthday but also decades of cinematic camaraderie and collaboration.
“Happy birthday Amit uncle,” Farhan captioned the photo. “What a pleasure and privilege it was to be with you on your birthday special. Listening to you and dad reminisce about your life and times together was an absolute treat.” His message highlights the emotional resonance of the episode, where conversations between the three icons spanned a rich history of Bollywood milestones, personal memories, and long-standing friendships.
Describing the experience as “more valuable than any amount that one can hope to win on the show,” Farhan’s post underscores the deep bond he shares with Bachchan—not just as an industry legend, but as a mentor and cherished family friend. The episode was a rare gathering of three generations of creative talent, providing audiences with intimate glimpses into the golden age of Hindi cinema and the legacies it continues to shape.
Amitabh Bachchan and Javed Akhtar’s partnership dates back to the era-defining films of the 1970s and ’80s, many co-written by Salim–Javed, including Zanjeer, Sholay, and Deewaar—films that cemented Bachchan’s image as the “Angry Young Man” and redefined Indian cinema. For Farhan, who grew up surrounded by this creative energy, the moment was more than symbolic—it was personal.
On the professional front, Farhan Akhtar is gearing up for the release of 120 Bahadur, a Hindi-language war drama based on the heroic stand of the 13 Kumaon Regiment during the 1962 Battle of Rezang La. Directed by Razneesh Ghai, the film honors the courage of 120 Indian soldiers who faced overwhelming odds in a historic last stand against the Chinese army. 120 Bahadur is set to release on November 21, 2025.
