He went on to add, “The crew of KBC took me out after the days' work to dine with them .. a fine South Indian place .. delicious food and company .. but the heart mourns .. more so because none of them knew that it was Babuji's birth Anniversary .. to each his own ..”

For the unversed, Amitabh recently lost his close friend from the industry, beloved Bollywood star Dharmendra. The actor had been battling ill health for weeks and had been hospitalised earlier this month. He was 89.

On the work front, Amitabh was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD. Directed by Nag Ashwin, the film also starred Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan in lead roles. Big B's portrayal of Ashwatthama in the sci-fi drama won hearts, and the film became a massive success, grossing over 1,000 crore worldwide.
