Mumbai, Apr 25 (IBNS): Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan on Saturday expressed his concern over the earthquake that rocked Nepal and the tremors of which was even felt in India.

Turning a bit nostalgic, Big B tweeted: "T 1845 - O ! God .. this is Nepal earthquake ..!!! I shot a song here for 'Mahaan' with Zeenat Aman .. pray all well ."

A massive earthquake with epicenter located about 80 km northwest of Kathmandu hit Nepal causing widespread damage, including loss of life, in the capital region of the Himalayan nation while in India people experienced tremors for nearly a minute in Delhi, Rajasthan, Bihar, UP, West Bengal and Northeast on Saturday, triggering panic as people rushed outside.

United States Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake - which struck east of Pokhara- measured 7.9 on the Richter scale. The epicenter of the quake is located 35 km east of Lamjung district in Nepal.

Buildings collapsed and cracks appeared on the roads in Nepal where the devastation was yet to be measured.

Two deaths were reported so far while many were injured.

Several walls of houses collapsed in Kathmandu and other parts of Nepal.

Reports said some temples also were reduced to rubble in Kathmandu.
