Megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Sunday paid tributes to iconic singer Kishore Kumar on his 90th birth anniversary.

Taking to Twitter, Big B revealed three out of the eight songs Kumar won Best Male Playback Singer awards for were from his films.

"4th Aug -Kishore Kumar's Birth Anniversary... sang in more than 51 films, 130 songs, in more than 60 films that I acted in. 3 (out of 8) Best Male Playback Singer awards were songs he sang for me," Bachchan tweeted.

The 'Piku' actor also shared a few throwback pictures with the singer, also addressed as 'Kishore Da', including a snap from 'Lawaaris' in which they worked together.

The 'Ek Ladki Bhigi Bhagi Si' crooner, who was born on August 4 1929, was a man with multiple talents. Other than being the most accomplished singer of his times, he was also a screenwriter, actor, composer, director, and producer.

Kumar died at the age of 58, but his memories are still etched in people's minds.
