On the occasion of Daughters’ Day 2021, Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan took to social media to wish his daughter Shweta Bachchan. In his note, he highlighted how culture and society are enriched by the presence of daughters. “Happy daughter’s day .. SEPT 26 ..betia na hoti toh sansar, samaj, sanskriti..sab ke sab nadarat (Society, culture will be dull without daughters),” he wrote on Instagram. Alongside the note, Big B posted an adorable picture of him sharing smiles with his daughter Shweta Bachchan.
Amitabh’s sweet wish made a way into Shweta’s heart. Responding to the post, Shweta commented, “Love you Papa.”
In one of the recent episodes on his show, Kaun Banega Crorepati, Bachchan opened up about how he regrets not being there for Shweta and Abhishek Bachchan as they were growing up.
“Woh humko humesha ek dukh raha hai ki subah jab jaa rahe hote kaam pe toh woh so rahe hote, wapas aate toh phir so rahe hote, kyunki der raat wapas aate the. Toh woh thoda sa kasht hua lekin ab sab samajdaar ho gaye hai (I have always regretted it because when I would leave for work in the morning, they would be sleeping and they would sleep off by the time I returned because it would be late in the night. I would feel a little bad but everyone is understanding now),” he said.
