The fans all around the world are celebrating megastar Amitabh Bachchan's birthday. The actor is celebrating his 77th birthday with family. As the wishes have been pouring in for the actor, Karan Johar penned a heartfelt note saying that there will never be a legend like him.

Karan Johar took to Instagram to say that Amitabh Bachchan is the hugest inspiration. "I was a 3 or 4 years old when I began to realise the magnitude of the man....subsequently I had the privilege of growing up around him ... I was first told I must always touch his feet as a mark of respect... but very soon after it came absolutely naturally to me...in fact it’s now a reflex action when I see him and I can never stop myself (even when I know my pants are perhaps a tad tight and it could result in an embarrassing tear) I call him Amit uncle (with great pride...almost patting my back because I have the right to this familiarity) and he will always be like a father figure to me....I probably can never be entirely myself around him because that star-struck kid with big awestruck eyes every time he walked into a room has never ever left me...and never will...I fainted the First time I had to work him and am not sure things have changed even today...I faint a little in my head every time I meet him and then compose myself so I can play act serious filmmaker again! Amitabh Bachchan is my hugest inspiration ...his child like enthusiasm for everything he does...his paramount passion for every tiny detail...his ambition to keep achieving after being the ambassador of achievement ...what do I say...there will never be a man and legend like him ever again! And there shouldn’t be....he has earned the place of mega movie star monopoly! Happy birthday Amit uncle! We love you so much....????????❤️❤️," he wrote.

Karan Johar and Amitabh Bachchan had worked together in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
