Amitabh Bachchan Felt Old On His 69th Birthday Yesterday

“I feel strange sometimes to work with young actors,” says Amitabh Bachchan, who celebrated his 69th birthday yesterday.

“I am old compared to today’s generation of actors. When I go to the sets, I find mostly youngsters in the 25-30 age group while I am entering my 70th year,” Bachchan told reporters outside his Juhu residence.

Bachchan, who greeted fans outside his home, said, “Sometimes I feel strange at the sets because there is a gap of 30-40 years (between him and the other artistes). But I like their enthusiasm. Our Hindi film industry is progressing. The artistes today are very talented. I hope I will continue to learn from them.”

In a career spanning over four decades, Bachchan has done genre defining roles like the angry young man in ‘Zanjeer’, ‘Deewar’, ‘Agneepath’, the small time thief of ‘Sholay’, the ageing teacher in ‘Black’, the 13-year-old child suffering from progeria in ‘Paa’ and an idealist professor in ‘Aarakshan’.
