Abhishek stated that for the primary time in his profession, he felt like a star. People approached him for autographs, and he felt like he’d shut down his critics. But he was in for a impolite awakening mere hours later, when he reached dwelling and was greeted by none aside from his father, Amitabh Bachchan, on the door.

He stated in Hindi, “When I started out, none of my films really made a mark at the box office. Those were uncertain times. But then I starred in a film called Dhoom, which became a massive hit. To celebrate the film’s success, the producer Aditya Chopra threw a success party at a hotel very close to our house. It was at the party that I felt like I had accomplished something for the first time. After partying all night, I decided to walk back home; it was just two minutes away…”

Abhishek continued, “On my way back, I was stopped by so many fans who came up to me asking for autographs, cars were stopping around me. It was the first time I was being recognised as Abhishek Bachchan on the streets. By the time I reached home, I felt like India’s number one superstar has arrived. It felt so good, because before Dhoom, people would make me feel like I was nothing, they’d throw me out of films, tell me to quit acting, they wouldn’t answer my calls.”

He concluded, “So, when I reached home, I was at the top of the world. It was 6 am, I rang the bell, and my father opened the door in his nightgown, holding a newspaper. ‘You’re home?’ he asked me, and then it struck me. I was looking at Amitabh Bachchan. Udhar hi aukaat samajh mein aagayi, ke tum kuch nahi ho, bhagwan toh yeh hain (I’m a nobody compared to him, he’s god). Tum chup chaap jaake so jao aur mehnat karo (I told myself to shut up and go to sleep, because I had a lot of hard work in front of me).”

Abhishek just lately returned to appearing in an enormous manner after taking a while off to reevaluate his profession. Since 2020, the actor has appeared in a string of streaming releases equivalent to The Big Bull, Ludo, Bob Biswas, Dasvi, and the second season of Breathe: Into the Shadows. His father is much more prolific, having appeared in movies equivalent to Goodbye, Uunchai, Brahmastra, Runway 34 and Jhund in 2022 alone, not counting a few cameos.
