Amitabh Bachchan celebrates birthday with Aishwarya, Aaradhya, Navya and Abhishek. See family pic

Abhishek Bachchan, daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, wife Jaya Bachchan, daughter Shweta and granddaughters Navya Naveli Nanda and Aaradhya Bachchan were seen posing on a yacht with Amitabh Bachchan.

Despite having announced his wish to not celebrate his 75th birthday, Amitabh Bachchan could not escape the love of fans and family. The veteran actor’s family arranged for a private celebration in Maldives where they had a quiet family vacation. The Bachchans returned to Mumbai late Sunday.

Amitabh Bachchan spent his 75th birthday with family -- Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Shweta Nanda, Navya Naveli and Shweta Nanda -- at a quiet vacation in Maldives.

There was no grand, starry birthday party for Big B this year but fans still got a peek into his birthday this year. While earlier Abhishek had posted a photo from Maldives, a photo that show Amitabh with his family is now going viral.

One of the pictures shows son Abhishek Bachchan, daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, wife Jaya Bachchan, granddaughters Navya Naveli Nanda and Aaradhya Bachchan on a yacht. The picture is quite similar to what we saw when the family went for a Maldives holiday last year to celebrate Abhishek Bachchan’s birthday.

In another picture, Navya lovingly hugs her grandad as the actor smiles at the camera.

Writing about his birthday devoid of any big bashes, he wrote on his blog, “After 75 years, you run away from it all .. there is apprehension and embarrassment of celebration .. of what expression to be worn and where .. to what must there be celebration of gift .. and the list of guests to be in proper shades of etiquette .. the care and hospitality, the personal touch of host formality, the …Many objects and lists and meetings later .. it merely succumbs to the ultimate argument .. all this for getting a year closer to the final closure .. !! And today as I sit by myself in elated company of the near and the dear .. listen and read and get enveloped by the reams of praise and effects that my presence has supposedly created .. there is fear .. A fear of losing myself ..”

The actor, who was last seen in Taapsee Pannu starrer Pink, is currently working on his next along with Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh in Thugs of Hindostan.
