Megastar Amitabh Bachchan seems to have been missing his mother Teji Bachchan a little extra on her birth anniversary on August 12.
The megastar took to his social media account to remember her and penned a short yet sweet note, on Wednesday morning.
Describing her as a "symbol of inspiration, morale, patience", the doting son said that she remains an entire world residing forever in his heart.
The actor shared two posts on the occasion. In his first post on X, he wrote,
"T 5823 - August 12, Mother's Birthday !
Symbol of inspiration, morale, patience - A
complete vast world forever residing in the heart."
In another post on his personal blog, Bachchan wrote the same and added the reason as to why he chose not to put up a picture of her on social media on her birth anniversary today.
He wrote in Hindi,which further in English read as, "Will not put up a picture because who resides in heart forever, cannot be captured in a still.
For the uninitiated, Teji Bachchan, born Teji Suri on August 12, 1914, was the wife of celebrated Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan and mother of Amitabh and his younger brother Ajitabh Bachchan.
She passed away on December 21, 2007, in Mumbai, aged 93, just a few months after grandson Abhishek Bachchan's wedding with Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
For the uninitiated, Teji married Harivansh Rai Bachchan in 1941 and was also known for her association with the literary and cultural circles surrounding the celebrated poet.
She also was a theatre artist and participated in stage productions, including a Hindi adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth.
Talking about her children, Amitabh and Ajitabh were the couple's two sons. Ajitabh has largely stayed away from the film industry's limelight, and went on to pursue a career in business, while Amitabh Bachchan went on to carve his humongous identity in the world of Hindi cinema.
Talking about Amitabh Bachchan, the actor who has been a part of the entertainment industry for over five decades, is currently seen hosting the quiz reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati.

Amitabh ji never fails to amaze us with his emotional depth. Remembering your mother on her birth anniversary with such grace is what we all should learn. His dedication to his parents is unmatched, especially after losing his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan ji and now his mother. Truly a great son.
This is so wholesome! Teji ji must have been an incredible woman to raise such a legendary actor. Also interesting to know she acted in a Hindi adaptation of Macbeth. Salute to all the strong mothers out there who shape our lives. ❤️
While I appreciate the sentiment, I find it a little odd that he posts the same message on two platforms. But well, everyone grieves in their own way. The bond he had with his mother is evident. Respect for Amitabh sir and his family. His commitment to KBC and his work despite all this is also admirable.
The way Amitabh ji respects his parents is something the younger generation should look up to. Just imagine being 82 years old and still missing your mother so much. It really shows that a mother's love never fades no matter how old you get. Beautiful words, Big B! 🥺💐
It's touching how he still carries her memory. Teji ji's life story is quite fascinating too - being part of the literary circle and theatre world. Both her sons have done exceptionally well in their respective fields. Clearly a woman of substance behind such a successful family.
