Bollywood Superstar Amitabh Bachchan celebrated his daughter Shweta Nanda's 40th birthday recently. 

The family had made special plans to be with her and celebrate her big day. 

Big B who has always been vocal about his inclination towards daughters, yet again stated that his daughter is his emotional anchor in life. 

The Bachchan family did not celebrate Holi due to a loss in the family, instead, they chose to fly to Delhi to meet Shweta. Post her marriage to industrialist Nikhil Nanda, Shweta has been residing there. 

Talking about his daughter Big B wrote, "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 ..!!". 

Though she has turned 40, Big B still remembers his daughter's innocent childhood. "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...she would wonder who I was, and what I meant to her, for, absence from her for long days would perplex her...she was just a couple of years old," Big B wrote on his blog.
