Mumbai: Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan on Saturday posted an Instagram wish for fans on the occasion of Navratri.

In the picture, Big B is seen with his hands folded, with sketched images of Devi Durga and a rangoli in the backdrop. The words “Shubh Navratri” are written in Hindi.

Alongside the image, he wrote in Hindi: “Sarv mangal mangalya, shive sarvarth sadhike. Sharanye trambake gauri narayani namastute.

“Aaj Navratri ke paavan avsar par aapko aur apke parivar ko anek anek shubhkaamnyein. Devi ma apni kripa aap sab par banaye rakhe. Apko sukh, shanti, samridhi, swaasth, safalta aur prem sada milta rahe yehi meri devi ke charno main prarthana hai (today on the pious occasion of Navratri, I wish you and your family all the best. May the goddess bestow her mercy upon all of you. I pray to the goddess that happiness, peace, prosperity, health, success, and love always be with you),” he wrote.

Earlier, the 78-year-old veteran had posted an Instagram picture looking dapper in a night blue suit paired with a crisp white shirt.
