New Delhi: Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Friday accompanied close friend and Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh to offer prayers at the famous Akshardham temple.
The occasion? Singh's 50th birthday. At around 0915 (IST) on Friday morning, Bachchan visited the Akshardham temple that is located on the banks of the Yamuna. Abhishek, Shweta and Jaya Bachchan accompanied Amitabh.
"I have offered prayers on my 50th birthday. I haven't asked for anything special," Singh told reporters.
Singh's wife, his two daughters and family friend and wife of businessman Anil Ambani, Tina Ambani, were also present on the occasion.
In view of the visit by the high-profile devotees, there was tight security at the temple.
When asked about the phone-tapping issue, he said, "The government is baying for our blood but still I have prayed for the well-being of the government."
The Samajwadi Party leader made a donation of Rs 50 lakh to the temple on the occasion.
Amitabh, making a rare appearance after his recent surgery for an intestinal ailment, was accompanied by wife Jaya and son Abhishek to the temple in East Delhi.
