Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan will turn 75 on October 11 and says he doesn’t want any celebrations.

On his blog, he wrote: “Many threaten and plan a 75th celebration for my birth. May it be known that there shall be no such event, allowed or even acknowledged. May it be known that if there is such move by others, they must withdraw from it for I shall never acknowledge or endorse such... Be it family or Ef (extended family) or any other... it is not going to be with any consent.

“It shall only drive me to some isolated unknown location which shall never be known by any. Period!”

The actor has had a long and successful career that is still going strong. He has Thugs of Hindostan and 102 Not Out coming up soon, and he will also be seen as the host of game show Kaun Banega Crorepati.
