Back in 2017, the Bachchan family couldn't celebrate the Diwali festival due to the unfortunate demise of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's father, Mr. Krishnaraj Rai. He passed away due to illness and it was a rather solemn year for the entire family.

Today is his birth anniversary and son-in-law Abhishek Bachchan took to his Instagram account to remember him. He wrote- Happy Birthday Dad. Miss You, followed by a heart. The post garnered comments from close friends and actors like Kunal Kapoor, Bunty Walia and Sonali Bendre.
