SOMETIMES’

Actor Abhishek Bachchan has been lauded for his performance in his latest release, Dasvi. And his father, actor Amitabh Bachchan, has been most vocal about his act. He took to social media when the film released and wrote, “…Abhishek, tum mere uttradhikari hoge, bus keh diya to keh diya! (sic).” Abhishek says, “He is just like any other father.

“He is very excited. I am a parent as well, so I know you cannot see beyond your children. It gives you so much happiness when you see them happy, healthy, and, hopefully, successful,” adds the Manmarziyaan (2018) actor.

Right before the film released, he had written a note on social media, wherein he mentioned he was “reticent to speak about his films and is borderline apologetic about his work”. Ask him about it, and he replies, “Well, it’s the truth. I just wanted to say I was very excited after seeing the film, happy and proud of our director. I just wanted to put the positivity out there. In the past, I have been shy to say anything, as I thought, ‘Let the film talk’. But with this one, I thought, ‘You know what, I want to talk about it’.”
