The 71-year-old took to his blog srbachchan.tumblr.com Monday morning to express his gratitude to his guests.

"What was the joy of course was the coming over of the entire fraternity in their traditional best to bring in the greetings, to join in with us at the house and spend this large amount of time in the glory and the warmth of the festival in celebration," he posted.

Among other guests were Anushka Sharma, Farah Khan, Neha Dhupia, Divya Dutta and Sonu Sood.

"It was wonderful to see all, from Shah Rukh to Katrina to Anushka to Ranbir and everyone, all ...relaxed and in comfort of the auspicious moment, in the comfort of each other, of their laughter and camaraderie...a warmth in my heart," Bachchan added.
