Apart from Abhishek, senior actor Amitabh Bachchan also gave a tribute to his father with some rare and unseen pictures. On this special occasion, Amitabh Bachchan has shared a picture of his father adorned with flowers and garlands and praised his famous image. He wrote in the caption, sharing a sentence said by the father- "I want to write great poetry, not epic!" Further, he also offered his love to his father and wrote, “But he not only wrote great poetry and also composed" epic "in the form of autobiography. Bachchan ji's place among India's most popular poets is secured.” 

One of the most eminent poets of the country, Harivansh Rai Bachchan is widely remembered for one of his literary creations -- Madhushala. He is credited with bringing out some really outstanding poems and some of which include Aakul Antar, Ekaant Sangeet, Soot Ki Maala, Aarti Aur Angaare and Bahut Din Beete among others. Harivansh Rai Bachchan was born on 27 November 1907 in Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh. Considered one of the greatest poets of the Hindi language, the Kavikhanda taverna composed by him still lives on people's tongues.

Meanwhile, on the professional front, Abhishek was last seen as 'Bittu Tiwari' in Anurag Basu's directorial film Ludo. The star has also started shooting for Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming production titled Bob Biswas, which will be directed by Diya Annapurna Ghosh, in which he will be playing the lead role.
