Mumbai, Jan 26 (IBNS): Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan said he is 'humbled and overwhelmed' after been chosen for the Padma Vibhushan award, the second highest civilian honour of India.

"I have no words to express my gratitude to the powers that be and am most humbled and overwhelmed by the generosity of the people that decide or sit on judgement on this ..," Bachchan posted on his blog on Monday.

He said he feels "blessed and honoured, fortunate and humbled, overwhelmed and submerged by the affection and love of the people …"

Following is the full post of his blog:

The Government of India has decorated me today with the highest Padma Award of the country, the Padma Vibhushan ..

I have no words to express my gratitude to the powers that be and am most humbled and overwhelmed by the generosity of the people that decide or sit on judgement on this ..

In the family now we have a combined list of 7 such awards of the highest National acclaim ..

My Father : Padma Shree , Padma Bhushan

Jaya : Padma Shree

Aishwarya : Padma Shree

AB : Padma Shree, Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan

In one family this must be perhaps the only reference or case in the country. I feel blessed and honoured, fortunate and humbled, overwhelmed and submerged by the affection and love of the people …

My love ..
