The "Piku" star was accompanied by his wife Jaya, daughter Shweta and son Abhishek on stage.

Abhishek said Big B is the world's best father and that is what matters to him more than anything else.

"We never looked upon him as a megastar. He has always been Paa for us and I think it's a greater achievement than he has. I think he is the world's best father," Abhishek said.
