In an Instagram post, Abhishek Bachchan revealed that it "took a lot of secrecy, a lot of planning, a lot of hard-work and a lot of rehearsals to get it right. But then again, he deserves no less." Other members of the family - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Aaradhya, Shweta Bachchan, Nikhil Nanda, Navya Naveli Nanda and Agastya Nanda also sent wishes for Amitabh Bachchan in the form of audio visual notes on Big B's special day.
