Agastya Nanda, grandson of Amitabh Bachchan is all set for the release of his debut film 'The Archies'. The young man has already made an impression with his glimpses in trailer and songs from the film. Today, as Agastya Nanda turns 23, a few days before the release of his film, the actor has been flooded with wishes from his family members on social media.
Agastya's mother Shweta Bachchan Nanda took to social media to share a childhood picture of Agastya and wrote, "Happy 23-23-23 son ~ may your brave heart take you on the best adventures, may those adventures serve you well & May you never forget how loved and valued you are".

Agastya's older sister Navya Naveli Nanda also took to her Instagram feed to wish her baby brother. She shared a picture of Agastya sitting on her lap. The pictures seems to have been clicked on the sets of The Archies when Navya went to visit him. "Happy birthday to my morning alarm, part time therapist, full time irritant & the newest hero in town," she wrote.
"May every year, but especially this one, be yours Junior!," she added. Reacting to the post, their mother wrote, "I'm going to cry! Stoppppp. Love you Aggie".
