Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan wrote a personalised note to veteran actress Neena Gupta after watching her latest entertainer Badhaai Ho as he was highly impressed by her performance in the film. Neena, who essays the role of a 50-year-old expecting mother in the film, took to Instagram to share a snapshot of the letter and the bouquet of flowers accompanying it. 

The actress shared the picture and captioned it as: "Aapse ye patr aur pushp paake ankhen khushi se bhar aain. Thank you so much, Amitabh Bachchan sir. (Got tears in my eyes after receiving this letter and flowers from you. Thank you Amitabh Bachchan sir." In the letter, Big B, 76, praised the film and the acting by the entire cast. He said he got tears of joy after watching it.

Badhaai Ho is the story of a middle-class family based in Delhi that is embarrassed with an accidental pregnancy in the house. Starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Sanya Malhotra, Gajraj Rao, Neena Gupta and Surekha Sikri in the lead roles, the film was applauded by film critics for its quirky content and dazzling performances. The word of mouth, too, was totally in the favour of the film, that immensely helped its performance at the box-office. The film is a perfect blend of good story with a pinch of humour. As of November 5, the film had crossed the Rs 100 crore mark at the box office. Even after competition from Amitabh Bachchan’s Thugs of Hindostan, Badhaai Ho is unstoppable. 

Bollywood critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the latest box office collection of Badhaai Ho and said, “ #BadhaaiHo continues to trend well on weekdays... [Week 4] Fri 1.45 cr, Sat 2.05 cr, Sun 2.45 cr, Mon 1.30 cr, Tue 1.25 cr, Wed 1.20 cr. Total: ₹ 119.30 cr. India biz.‬”
