Diwali couldn't have possibly ended on a sweeter note for megastar Amitabh Bachchan this year. His father Harivansh Rai Bachchan was a distinguished Hindi poet in whose name the Polish city Wroclaw named a square back in October.

On the festival of lights, a special 'Diya' was lit and placed on the statue and Big B shared its picture on social media. An overwhelmed son wrote, 'They honour Babuji by placing a 'Diya' for Deepavali at his statue in Wroclaw, Poland.'
