If yesteryear veterans like Hema Malini, Saira Banu, Waheeda Rehman, Vinod Khanna, Prem Chopra,
Kader Khan, Pran, Zeenat Aman, Jeetendra and Asha Parekh came to wish Big B, his co-star of many films like "Deewar" Shashi Kumar was wheeled in to join the revelries.
Also Neetu and Rishi Kapoor, who have worked with Big B, were seen walking the red carpet.
Aishwarya and Abhishek played a perfect host and escorted 89-year old legend Dilip Kumar inside the venue.
Big B's one time competitor Vinod Khanna, who rarely speaks to the media, was in a generous mood and said: "I wish him all the happiness and good luck."
