No one deserved it more: From Rajinikanth to Ajay Dvegn, stars wish 'living legend' Amitabh Bachchan for Dadasaheb Phalke Award

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan got honoured with the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award on Tuesday evening and several Bollywood stars joined the actor in wishing him for this achievement.

From Anil Kapoor to Rajnikanth, here are all the stars who wished the actor.

The 76-year-old star started his journey in showbiz as one of seven protagonists in Saat Hindustani, and then went on to feature in the Rajesh Khanna-starrer Anand. Once he got noticed in Prakash Mehra's 1973 hit, Zanjeer, there was no looking back. The film also marked the birth of his Angry Young Man avatar.

Amitabh Bachchan means different things to different fans. Some remember him as the towering lead in films like Deewaar, Zanjeer, Don and Sholay, while some appreciate his nuanced, National Award-winning portrayals in Black, Paa and Piku. There are fans who celebrate him for his comic timing, while others swear by his intense screen presence.

From touching the pinnacle of stardom to facing failure in his days of bankruptcy and then bouncing back in the game and seeing a meteoric rise -- Big B, as Bollywood and fans fondly call him, has seen it all. His upcoming projects include Chehre, Gulabo Sitabo, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, Brahmastra and Aankhen 2.
