Amitabh Bachchan shares euphoria of Abhishek's birth 39 years ago

Mumbai: As Abhishek Bachchan turned 39 today, father and megastar Amitabh Bachchan recalled the 'joyous' moment when the 'Happy New Year' actor was born.

Bachchan, 72, who is a proud father of daughter Shweta and son Abhishek with wife Jaya, wrote on his blog how he celebrated the moment.

"The birthday has been brought in and Abhishek is another year older, 39 years... Strange but he was born just the other day... And the euphoria and the champagne opening at the Breach Candy Hospital, the traditional cigar smoked, general joy and celebration...

"A little subdued perhaps... Not quite as much as that for Shweta... That was quite a moment... And here we are sharing those moments on this wonderful medium, which incidentally the media questions a great deal about...," Bachchan wrote on the blog.
