Amitabh Bachchan, Harivansh Rai Bachchan
Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan shared a heartwarming picture on Sunday on his Instagram profile and shared a glimpse of a square in the Polish city of Wroclaw, which has been named after his late father, distinguished Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
He called it a moment of immense pride for his family and India.
Taking to his Instagram account, Bachchan wrote, "The City Council of the City of Wroclaw, Poland has decided to name a Square after my Father .. there could not have been a more apt blessing on Dushhera than this .. a moment of extreme pride for the family, for the Indian community in Wroclaw .. and India. Jai Hind."
A lot of celebrities from the industry commented on the news including Ranveer Singh, Suniel Shetty, and Shamita Shetty who dropped a bunch of emojis, expressing their happiness. TV actor Aahana Kumra wrote, "How wonderful @amitabhbachchan sir!! Wonderful news! Happy Dusshera indeed!"
For the uninformed, it was in December that Amitabh had announced that Wroclaw has decided to name a square in his father's name. He shared pictures from a church service in that country in honour of his father and had written, "At one of the oldest Churches in Europe, in Poland a prayer for Babuji .. so touched and such an emotional moment .. his soul must be at peace and love .. Thank you Bishop and the people of Poland .. such an honour."
In an earlier tweet, without mentioning the name of the city or country, he had said that his father was to be honoured. He had written in Hindi, "Is adar samman ka haqdar babuji hain, mai nahi. Vinamra Vinaypoorna aabhar. Ye wo desh hai jo pujya babuji ko sammanit karne jar aha hai. Ek putra ke liye isase bhagyashali avastha nahi ho sakti (My father is deserving of this honour, not me. This is the country that will honour my father. There can’t be a moment of greater honour for a son)."
