Abhishek Bachchan ringed in his 40th birthday at Maldives with his entire family. Abhishek has been hosting star-studded birthday bashes at his parents’ Juhu bungalow over the years, but this time it was a private family affair.
Amitabh shared a family picture including- Jaya Bachchan, Aishwarya, Aaradhya, Shwetha and Abhishek chilling during a boat ride in the lovely city. He wrote, "To all that have sent messages through me for Abhishek on his birthday .. gratitude and thank you!"
Abhishek posted another picture and wrote, "Life is a journey which is far more enjoyable when your holding hands with the ones you love."
Amitabh, who pens down his thoughts on his blog by the end of the day wrote, "That sail in the distance .. that shadow of a setting sun .. the family by your side .. a gentle rocking of the waves on the Catamaran .. and chatter of life and days gone by .. That is what unfolds .. at the moment .."
He further wrote, "Its Abhishek’s birthday .. his 40 th .. and just the other day we had screamed in the corridors of the Breach Candy Hospital, trying to smoke a cigar, some champagne to the staff till late in the night .. when he was born !!
This formal tie suited image of some cover magazine had ever invited notice .. not from others on him, but on him to the others .. and this is the life he has desired and works for ..
Cannot imagine the passage of time when his strapping self sits by your side in conversation and laughter and music and gadgetry and information of all that stumbles along this very vast empire of cinema in India ..
For me it is still the two-finger-in- mouth idle, seated by the steps of the house, or playing field that remains in vivid memory of this my son .. and all the auspicious greetings that has come to him from the Ef is greatly appreciated and loved .. thank you ever so much …
The new destination grows on one not in any immediacy .. it struggles with you .. and its demanding nature keeps pinning you down in the battle of the presence and game value .. but it is the divine experience that keeps running though the brain, and the lament of why not an earlier visit ..
Sound sounds different in the silence of an evening .. or in the rush of the morning .. but whatever its wealth, it is the strange feeling of being able to hear yourself breathe that truly describes what has been missed in life .."
