Amitabh Bachchan, the 'Shahenshah' of Bollywood turns 71 today (though he doesn't look anywhere near that age).

Big B who made his debut in 1969 as a voice narrator in Mrinal Sen's National Award winning film 'Bhuvan Shome' was seen making his acting debut in 'Saat Hindustani' in the same year. Since then, he has worked in over a 175 films.

A living-legend, there has been no actor who has come even close to Big B's achievements.

Fans all over the world love this genuine, down-to-earth and humble man for his personality, looks and achievements and more so for the person he is in real life too.

Highly active on social networking sites, Big B on his birthday wrote,"FOR THE GREETINGS, FOR THE LOVE, FOR THE AFFECTION, FOR THOSE WHOM I CANNOT REPLY PERSONALLY  ... FOR 11TH OCT ... Thank you !!!"
