Amitabh, who is known as the Shahenshah of the Hindi silver screen, went on to mention that with this honour his family hold seven such awards.
“In the family now we have a combined list of 7 such awards of the highest National acclaim...My Father (Harivansh Rai Bachchan): Padma Shree, Padma Bhushan. Jaya: Padma Shree. Aishwarya: Padma Shree. AB: (Amitabh Bachchan) Padma Shree, Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan (sic),” he wrote.
The actor, who has delivered exceptional performances in movies like “Deewaar”, “Agneepath”, “Sholay”, "Don", “Black” and “Paa”,, said he feels “blessed” by the appreciation.
