Through his caption, the 'Manmarziyaan' actor reminded everyone of the hard work and dedication Big B has put in the last 50 years and how he is still devoted to his work despite being in his 70s.
"ICON! To me, he's so much more. My father, best friend, guide, best critic, greatest support, idol..... HERO! 50 years today he started his journey in films. Even today, his passion and love for his craft and work is the same as I'm sure it was on the first day. Dearest Pa, today we celebrate you, your talent, your passion, your brilliance and your immense influence. Can't wait to see what you have in store for the next 50 years," he wrote alongside the picture.
Abhishek also shared how today itself he learnt a really cool thing from the megastar. He wrote, "The coolest thing he taught me today....As I went, in the morning to wish him for completing 50 years of being an actor and to tell him that I was leaving for work- I asked him where he was all ready to go to? He said..... To work."
The father-son duo has worked together in films like 'Bunty Aur Babli', 'Paa', 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna' and 'Sarkar'.
