As a tribute to the late poet, the City Council of Wroclaw in Poland, has named a square after Amitabh Bachchan's father Harivansh Rai Bachchan. The Bollywood legend shared the news on his Instagram platform.

"The City Council of the City of Wroclaw, Poland has decided to name a Square after my Father .. there could not have been a more apt blessing on Dushhera than this .. a moment of extreme pride for the family, for the Indian community in Wroclaw .. and India .. JAI HIND," wrote the actor.

The legendary actor also posted an image of the board that has his father's name inscribed on it. The board, in blue, red and yellow, has "Square Harivansh Rai Bachchan Wroclaw" termed on it.

Few months back, Amitabh had shared an Instagram video showing students at Wroclaw University paying tribute to his father by narrating a few lines from the famous poem "Madhushala".

Alongside the clip, Big B had written: "Last year the Mayor of Wroclaw declared me as the Ambassador of the City of Wroclaw, in Poland... Today they organised a recitation of my Babuji's Madhushala by the University students on the roof of the University building. As Wroclaw was awarded the title of a UNESCO City of Literature, they could pass on the message to Babu Ji's lovers from all around the world - Wroclaw is a City of Dr Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Moved beyond emotion .. thank you Wroclaw .. in this time of my trial it brings so much cheer to me."

Amitabh is currently seen on television, hosting the quiz show, "Kaun Banega Crorepati 12".
