Amitabh Bachchan's 41st wedding anniversary devoid of celebrations!

Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, who clocked 41 years of marital bliss Tuesday, are not celebrating the special day in a big way as the entire family is busy with other commitments. However, Big B says their hearts are "together".

"Devoid of any celebration, devoid of presence, just devoid...Wife away out of country, children travelling ..but hearts together (sic)," the 71-year-old tweeted.

The couple got married June 3, 1973 and has two children - son Abhishek and daughter Shweta.

While Abhishek is married to actress Aishwarya Rai and they have daughter named Aaradhya, Shweta is married to businessman Nikhil Nanda and have son Agastya Nanda and daughter Navya Naveli Nanda.

Abhishek expressed his love towards his parents on Twitter Tuesday morning by posting a photograph and captioning it: "My parents' anniversary today. 41 years and still going strong! Love you guys."

Big B, who has worked with wife Jaya in films including "Zanjeer", "Abhimaan", "Chupke Chupke", "Sholay", "Silsila" and "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham", thanked fans for sending in wishes.

"And to all that wish for the anniversary...many thanks for the wishes...love all of you," he tweeted.

The megastar also dedicated his blog to all the 'wives' and thanked them for making the life of men beautiful and gratifying.

On his blog srbachchan.tumblr.com, he wrote: "The lavishness of the coming together, the energy and the protocol, the submission to custom and ritual...and suddenly there is another member among you...they are referred to as the 'ardhangini', the half of the body that you possess. They bring life, they bring harmony and composure, they acknowledge the growth of the members of this new surname, they mind the home and the hearth! They are quite unique.
"God bless them all that adorn these qualifications...for they are the rulers, the future, the ones that shall be obeyed to...they are the women the female, the better half of mankind...and they are indeed superior.

"To that superiority may I dedicate this blog to all those among us that endorse such detail. You have lived and loved and taken care and administered your prevalence. You have been strong and weak together. You have managed the home, the nest that you build, to welcome the partner as your own...you are superior."

Get ready to be surprised by Amitabh Bachchan look in Shamitabh

 You saw it here first. Amitabh Bachchan, known for changing his looks to suit the character, has gone grey and haggard on us in R Balki's curiously titled Shamitabh.

He was spotted shooting at Mumbai Lokhandwala Gardens on May 31 in this get-up. He was sporting grey hair and beard.

Amitabh had earlier tweeted about the "long and ardous" look test he had to undergo for the film. The Paa artist is back at work with Shamitabh.

Balki said about the film, "We are happy to announce that the film is titled Shamitabh. We are halfway through the shoot of the film, so I will finish that and then talk more about it. Right now, I'm enjoying watching the lethal combo of the intensity of Amitabh Bachchan, the intelligence of Dhanush, and the innocence of Akshara (Haasan)."

Big B and Balki have earlier worked together in Cheeni Kum (2007) and Paa (2009). While he sported a neat little ponytail in Cheeni Kum, he had used prosthetic make-up in Paa.

Amitabh also wrote a facebook post about the film and his co-actors.
