Alongside the nostalgic image, Amitabh wrote, “And tonight shall be a latish night .. Abhishek turns 49 .. and his new year shall be in .. Feb 5, 1976 .. Time has passed rapidly .. !!!!”

Reflecting on time’s fleeting nature, he added, “At times there is a desire to foment the mind and express the thoughts with what needs to be said .. an urge ..

The two actors share a strong bond, having worked together in multiple films, including ‘Bol Bachchan’, ‘Yuva’, ‘LOC: Kargil’, and ‘Zameen’.

Sonam Kapoor posted a still from their hit song ‘Masakali’ from ‘Delhi 6’, wishing him a happy birthday. Sonali Bendre kept it sweet and simple, writing, “Happy Birthday, AB! Sending lots of love and best wishes your way.”

Kajol also joined in, sharing a picture of Abhishek with a heartfelt message: “Here’s to an amazing day and an even better year ahead!”
