[tps_footer]Amitabh Bachchan had two reasons to celebrate, one of course was the festival of colour Holi and the other one was his daughter Shweta Nanda’s birthday that coincided with the festival.

Shweta Nanda turned forty on March 17, 2014 and Amitabh Bachchan decided to spend this entire day with his daughter.

Amitabh Bachchan earlier took on to twitter and wrote, “We do not celebrate Holi, again. There have been discomforting news for the year, the passing away of relations distant. It would be disrespectful to be immersed in the colours of abandon and joy when some among us mourn, but tomorrow (Monday, March 17, 2014) is a day of travel again, to be with Shweta on her 40th Birthday.”

Amitabh Bachchan recalled about his daughter’s childhood days and shared an emotional note on twitter that read, “Dear me, so many years, and we still treat her like that cute cuddly little bundle who would stare at me in wonder every time she would come to pick me up from the airport after a long stint of shooting from out of the country or land.”

Mr. Bachchan further added, “She would wonder who I was, and what I meant to her, for absence from her for long days would perplex her when she was just a couple of years old.”

Amitabh Bachchan shared that Shweta, who is married to Nikhil Nanda, remains their chief executive officer, as all the important decisions of the Bachchan family are taken by Shweta’s consent.

“When she comes home to Jalsa, it’s never as though she went away and she does not ever allow us to feel that she left. Daughters have a way of doing that and doing that well. She remains our chief executive officer and we turn to her for all the tough decisions that come our way. Daughters have a sense of the sixth, one that never fails to ring that cliched bell within us. For us it always rings well and loud. We are blessed and proud,” he added.

Here’s wishing Shweta Nanda a great year ahead.[/tps_footer]
