October 11, 2024: On his 82nd birthday, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan received a touching tribute from Wroclaw, Poland, that left him deeply moved. The City of Wroclaw, which has honoured both Amitabh and his father, the legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan, with several recognitions, marked this special day with a musical tribute that resonated with the megastar on an emotional level.
Amitabh shared a video of the tribute on his social media platforms, showing young musicians performing his father’s iconic Madhushala on violins, set against the backdrop of Wroclaw’s scenic beauty. The tribute, which touched the actor deeply, comes from a city that has named a square in honour of his father, making it a place of personal significance for the Bachchan family.
Sharing the video, Amitabh wrote, “The day of birth… and the most revered gift that comes to me is from the City of Wroclaw, Poland.” He reminisced about his connection to the city, which declared him its Ambassador during his last visit. “They have placed a molding of Babuji in the main square, named a street after him, and honored him with a statue.”
Bachchan concluded his heartfelt message by expressing his gratitude for the touching gesture: “Young musicians play the violin as a respect to Babuji’s Madhushala at all the prominent locations in the city. It is a most humbling and overwhelming gesture, and words fail me in expressing my emotion at this point.”
This meaningful tribute from Poland is a profound celebration of both Amitabh Bachchan’s enduring legacy and the timeless literary contributions of his father.
