Megastar Amitabh Bachchan gave his best wishes to Oscar-winning actor Leonardo Di Caprio as he turned 42 today.
Bachchan, 74, who marked his Hollwyood debut with Di Caprio-starrer "The Great Gatsby", wished his co-star, "Happy Birthday" on Twitter and called him a "gentleman".
"Happy birthday Leonardo Di Caprio for the 11th... Colleague in 'GATSBY', a gentleman and a concerned 'climate change' actor...," he wrote.
Bachchan played the minor but important role of Meyer Wolfsheim in the 2013 film, a shady Jew who serves as a father figure to Di Caprio's character, the mysterious Jay Gatsby.
"The Age of Consent Act was legalised over 125 years
ago in 1891. How many times has the value of consent been taken for granted in our society? How many times has our culture considered consent and specifically sexual consent important enough to be acknowledged and discussed? How many times has 'No' meant 'No'," the Big B said echoing the message of the film.
If India wants to become the largest economy by 2020 then it cannot continue to bypass women who need to be treated equally in jobs, Bachchan said.
To superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who was also present on the occassion, he said Indian hockey team's recent victory at 4th Women's Asian Champions Trophy hockey tournament in Singapore reminds us of his hit film "Chak De India".
