Taking to the blog, Big B shared: "It is in the morn of another family birth... of which that has required no explanation... the better half celebrates her birthday TODAY, and all the greetings for her are recognised and shown gratitude, as always."

"A quiet family 'bring in' for the 9th on the midnight hour... and the love of immediate family presence," he added.

In June 1973, Big B and Jaya Bachchan got married. The two have a daughter, Shweta, and a son, Abhishek Bachchan.
