New Delhi:

First, let us take a moment to wish Agastya Nanda a very happy birthday. Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan’s grandson turns 23 today. Wishes have started to pour in from all quarters for the man who is soon to turn Bollywood star with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies. Among the plethora of wishes, came adorable birthday notes from Agastya’s family. On his special day, Agastya’s sister Navya Naveli Nanda shared a couple of pictures featuring herself with the birthday boy. In the happy click, a sharply dressed Agastya is sitting on Navya’s lap. While Navya is hugging her “junior” from behind, the two can be seen flashing million-dollar smiles for the lens. Wishing her “morning alarm”, Navya said, “Happy birthday to my morning alarm, part-time therapist, full-time irritant & the newest hero in town. May every year, but especially this one, be yours, Junior!”

Navya Naveli Nanda and Agastya Nanda’s mother Shweta Bachchan was among the first ones to acknowledge the post. Responding to the cute pictures, Shweta commented, “I’m going to cry! Stop. Love you, Aggie.” Navya and Agastya’s uncle, actor Abhishek Bachchan, Sonali Bendre, Shanaya Kapoor, and fashion designer Sandeep Khosla dropped a handful of red heart emoticons. Neha Dhupia and Sikandar Kher also wished Agastya.

On the special day, Navya Naveli Nanda also shared childhood pictures of herself with Agastya Nanda on her Instagram Stories. The first picture was clicked from a frame on a wall, showing the sibling duo sitting next to each other. In the next collage, little Navya can be seen holding baby Agastya in her arms.
