The world celebrated International Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 12, with great love and compassion. While people made their efforts to mark the occasion and extend their wishes to their mother, our B-Town celebs also shared heartfelt posts, dedicating them with a lot of respect and affection. Among them was Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who shared a special tribute to all the mothers.

Taking to his X handle, the actor posted a heartwarming clip with a poem dedicated to mothers. Originally narrated on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati, Big B reposted it on the occasion of Mother’s Day 2024, making the day even more special as he remembered his mother. The clip also includes an old childhood picture of the actor with his mother.

As the video concludes, the actor introduces himself as “I, Amitabh Teji Bachchan, am all set to start Kaun Banega Crorepati.” Along with the video, he also shared a sweet note and wrote, “Maa! Humara pehla sabd jo hum bolte hai, aur jo anant tak rehta hai” (Mother! The first word that we speak, and also the one that lasts forever!)

The actor’s fans were overwhelmed with his special Mother’s Day tribute, as many took to the comment section and shared their reactions. Notably, Amitabh Bachchan often speaks about his parents, crediting them for moulding him into the man he is today.
