He is so normal for someone who has been in the limelight basically from the minute he was born.
Humble and genuine soul.
We must accept that his upbringing is very good. It reflects from his personality. He has never been in controversy and conducted himself very well. His humility is visible to all of us.
What I love about Abhishek is that he is always thoughtful and humble in his answers. He is never arrogant nor does he shies away from acknowledging his privileges. He has had his fair share of struggles so I believe he has risen above the nepotism narrative by paying his dues in the film industry. I, like many others, hope that he sees a lot more success not just because he is Amitabh Bacchan’s son but just because who he is and his talent.
The minute details that Abhishek shared on the premiere of Refugee conveys his sheer passion for the craft. His humbleness, dignity, maturity say a lot about his character. Wishing him the best always!
i've always liked him. he's so soft spoken and calm. aishwarya is so lucky.
Abhishek was never a bad actor. He's one of the good products of nepotism. Anyone who's seen him in Yuva, Bunty Aur Babli, Antar Mahal, Sarkar, Bluffmaster, KANK, Guru, Dostana, Paa, Raavan, Dum Maaro Dum, Bol Bachchan, Manmarziyaan, would agree. Somewhere along the way we confused his box office setbacks with lack of acting skills.
He's a good actor...much better than some of the apparent good actor shitshows of bollywood. But he's in no way a great actor
@@abhishekbaburaj1105 Nobody said he's a "great" actor. The point was that he's not at all as bad as he has been painted to be all these years. A mediocre actor would never have been able to do a Guru.
He looks good because the rest of nepokids are exceptionally bad. Of course he is better than Tiger and Ananya. But he is no Nawaz or Pankaj Tripathi or Irrfan Khan.
@@desertrose00 Are you seriously that dumb or are have you done some course? Obviously he's no Nawaz, Pankaj or Irrfan and he's not supposed to be either. The comparison is really stupid. The whole point is that Abhishek is not a bad actor as he's painted. He's great in his own right. A bad actor would never have been able to do something like Guru. His comparison with the present lot of star kids is pretty foolish too. He actually is one of the good products of nepotism along with Hrithik, Ranbir, Saif, Akshaye Khanna.
Bol Bachchan ni yaar
This guy is a fine actor and conducts himself in a very dignified manner. Didn't make a good choice in his choice of films but wishing him the very best for his future endeavours. Hope part 2 for him is better than part 1. Like they say in typical bollywood style 'picture abhi baaki hai mere dost'
Abishek is a fabulous actor! I wish we get to see more of him. He resonates and relates with Indians living overseas. A wonderful performer and his acting is so real. Hope to see more of you Abishek Bachan
He is such a genuine actor and he is also very articulate, love the way he described his journey with such a lot of candour. Here's wishing him all the best for his future endeavours. I have been his biggest fan right from his Refugee days ........shine on Abhishek!
I agree. He should be a motivational speaker professionally. You can feel his intelligence and genuineness in any of his interviews. All the best 👍
Glad you’re celebrating this Rajeev! Abhishek deserves a celebration and much more in the movies. I wish him the best ! :)
One of the best underrated actor of our generation. He didn't walk his father's path....he carved his own niche..Congrats AB jr on your journey
Amidst all the bashing of actors from Film families or Star Kids, the Insider Vs Outsider debate, this needs to be said : Abhishek Bachchan is perhaps the most polite, humble and down to earth person to have come out of a film family. He has gone through so much ups and downs, hope this under-rated actor and gem of a person gets his due in the film industry.
Yep I feel abhishek and tiger are very grounded and humble. Hope more happens for abhishek
@sanjay amarnani Well, Smart ass, since u can call me an idiot, without knowing me personally, and that too over a comment, I think I can definitely express my opinion on Abhishek Bachchan after having watched his movies and many interviews.
Totally agree with you.
Amazing human being. Love abhishek bachchan. I hope he starts getting better roles that do justice to his talent. Any day he is way better than any superstar today. Love his confidence
Underrated actor with a unique style. I really hope he finds his due.
Underrated? Ha ha ha ha
Very true!
I agree. He was fantastic in movies like guru and bluffmaster. He ,sadly, chose a lot of bad movies.
Very true I loved his acting always
Overrated..You dare to watch his initial days movies like Refugee,Tera Jaadu,Bas Itna sa ,Haan maine bhi,Run kinda movies..These were like hell.. Watch one of them full..I dare you can't .. nobody can..phir bhi back to back flops ke bad bhi he came across to movies like Ravan and Yuva.. If he was an out sider then after Refugee only he would have kicked out of the university..
I genuinely love AB❤ His real self, soft spoken, warm-heart, gentleness and selfless humour sense is what flattered me. Always will be my favorite one on and off screen. He deserves what he should actually deserve.Endearingly, Love him❤
I love you Abhishek you’re such a great actor, I loved your performance in Refugee and Yuva!! And many more. Wish you will do another movie with Kareena! Love from France
He has given some fine perfomances really. 20 years is a long time still to keep your head above the water. Wish him the success he finally deserves. He really needs the role like Yuva, Sarkar, bluffmaster.
He has not achieved big in industry but he is a real Gem of a person!!!! Very calm and nice personality... Hats off!!
The most underrated actor. Love you AB for the actor that you are and for the person that you are...humble and dignified. Really hope you get your due coz you truly deserve it. ❤️
Absolutely agree with Rajeev, Delhi-6 is one of Abhishek’s best performance, that character Roshan Mehra got a lot of heart and honestly.
Abhishek is very good actor.. I love his acting And movies like Refugee, Yuva, Guru, Dostana, Run, Bunty aur Bubbly, Dhoom...Congratulations for completing 20 years in Bollywood and All the best for your future endeavor AB. 🌺🌹🌷🎉🎉
Such an underrated actor in Indian cinema. It pains me to see actors like tiger, arjun and varun getting opportunities ;(
Looking forward to anything and everything his going to come up with. Congrats and All the best Abhishek :)
He is rejecting films which has romantic scenes he is not comfortable to do so. Coz he said i hv an eight year old daughter who may ask dad what's going on there in the movie feat. Abhishek
Abhishek is such a Good Company to keep. Absolutely elegant and composed! Wishing him the best for Breathe.
In spite of so many memorable performances like Guru, Yuva, Sarkar, Bunty aur Babli,etc this man has always been a suppressed actor. I really hope that Breathe Into the Shadows changes the audience perception regarding his acting talent. Moreover, I am equally excited about Ludo, The Big Bull and Bob Biswas. More Power to you Abhishek . All the best
He was also very good at Manmarziyan.
I have always liked Abhishek. He is a very good actor both serious and in comedic scenes. He is also very witty and charismatic. This you see in Shahrukh Khan's live interviews.
He is so suave. He should be in Hollywood!
A very honest talk. Very happy about your re-evaluation in your approach to what u r doing .Observe,accept and restructure with hard work,and responsibility. I am sure we will see new Abhishek.i am 70 years old and had witnessed both of you,father and son, what appealed to me ,in Refugee,was your innocence approach to your job which I feel is maturely sharpened now.I am 100%sure u will make tremendous impact now.please choose more wisely. Looking forward to your coming work and future projects. Lots of love.Thank u Rajiv for not butting In when he was talking,for a change.
Never liked him as actor but I think he is amazing human being which is the only thing that actually matters
Have u seen guru , yuva, sarkar series, dhoom series, bol bachchan, dostana, bunty aur babli etc
Well, he is a great actor! Unfortunately never got his due.....
@@aryankaushik8165 likhne se phle sochte nhi h log
@@aryankaushik8165 Dhoom, Dostana, Bunty aur Babli, are you for real ? these are good movie, but the acting is not that awesome.
@@shafirahimzai4197 his acting was very good in all movies but people always criticized him
I really hope breathe turn out to be a big hit and people acknowledge his grown talent
AB is an actor who has also suffered nepotism in a reverse direction. But he never gave up. To not disappoint his father and his family. He had clenched his teeth and moved on. I believe if you want to succeed in bollywood🤭🤭you must not be sensitive and weak. 🙌🙌✌️
only person in the bollywood who can actually talk some sense!!
It's unfortunate that Abhishek never became super successful. But he is a really good actor and a gem of a person. Have always been such a big fan of his very polite demeanor. He is really very different from other star kids.
*Before you say anything bad about Jr. AB or criticize him, please watch Refugee, Zameen, LOC Kargil, Yuva, Naach, Sarkar, Bluffmaster, Guru, Paa, Raavan, and Manmarziyaan. He is a talented actor, just doesn't happen to get good roles on a regular basis.*
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna too! ❤
His acting was super in breathe 2
If no matter what I got this had a face : 16.59 Gawd...I cannot imagine the pain the absurdities he must have faced in those four years... the way he simply put it "Hell" I nearly cried... No matter what Khele Hum is gonna be my favorite forever :* Hang in there AB you've got some loyal followers :)
Yes Delhi-6 was good too, such a fine actor and a wonderful human being, never got his due, wishing him the very best.
He is soo real abhishek
He’s so well spoken and seems genuine. Wish him the best in his career ahead!
Always a treat to hear AB speak - honest and down to earth. Bravo Rajeev for asking the question normally only posed to actresses. Fab interview 👌🏻
Abishek is one of the good ones. Both as a human being and an artist.
Amitabh's unending stardom is Abhishek's biggest curse.
So true
True in a sense.. but amitji was starting his second inning.. at da same time.. they got bankrupted, bachchan's was dealing with financial issues at that point of a time... So he has to work... No other option left for amitji .. unfortunately
Certainly better than Varun, Tiger, Shahid, Sidharth, Aditya, Arjun, and many of them around. Hope he chooses good roles.
Sidharth is outsider
Shahid is a legend
Brilliant actor
People unnecessarily troll him but the fact is he is best actor go through his film like guru yuva run
Abhishek has always been mature and humble
This is a very deep honest interview, Abhishek, you blew me away in Yuva, Lala Signh was an evil man, not a big goon, he was the lowest of the baddies, a critter.
Keep up the good work, you are fantastic in comic roles too.
This man is a well brought up young man, no controversy following him.
He is so humble and very realistic.
Aishwarya is a lucky woman.
The problem with Abhishek is that he does well in 'acting' movies rather than 'star' movies. Had he not joined typical commercial cinema of Yashraj and dharma movies, he may have regarded as a good actor like Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. He spent most of his career in doing his friends and family movies.
Both Shahid and Saif have more star appeal than Abhishek. I suspect it's because the former 2 fits into Bollywood definition of borderline Mediterranean / Arab beauty standards more than Abhishek.
abhishek bachchan has a limited range when it comes to acting and performing. it is okay to be not as good of a dancer as hrithik or shahid but atleast one should look comfortable doing them. He is good in serious roles or emotional ones like in KANK, Yuva etc but maybe not as versatile as manoj bajpai, rajkummar rao. His discomfort looks too visible sometimes and that works against him.
Congratulations Abhishek on completion of 20 years as a Actor.
He's one of the good products of nepotism along with Hrithik, Ranbir and Akshaye.
Bobby deol too
Agreed
Better than hrithik roshan any day
I have always loved him! I don’t care about this new overrated overused word called as NEPOTISM. He is a great actor. Period.
Such an underrated actor. Even though he had his share of initial bad performances and the repeated chances given to him thanks to being a starkid, I think his failures made him a way better actor than his successes ever could. Guru, KANK, Yuva, Manmarzian and Delhi 6 are my most favourite performances of his. Also, I think the reason he is not that succesful is because he chose to remain grounded and not involve with the movie mafia intimately. I respect the Bachchan family even Aishwarya, infinitely more just due to the fact they didn't get to be entitled. Whatever the reason be, they are still better than other movie families who engage with the wrong people and sell their souls.
Very true..
My favourite actor in the industry is Abhishek Bachchan---Manmarziyaan ---was the performance of a life time...he has his mothers skills and he is a delight to watch
Really fine actor this one. Hope to see more of his work.
This is a beautiful interview, thanks Rajeev 💓
His outfit .. says everything 🤘
Wow getting to see and hear AB after a long time!! Thanks Rajeev!! 👍👍
Hope Breathe is a success!
The Big Bull, Bob Biswas, Breathe, Ludo. Gonna be egg on the faces of all Abhishek haters. 😂
Hopefully
I like Abhishek as an actor, his work in the film Delhi 6 is my favorite, he is so well spoken, humble and polite I really enjoy such interviews where he is given a chance to talk in-depth analysing his career . My heart felt good wishes for his future endeavors
He has always been my favourite. I wish to see him in many more projects. Sending my best wishes to Abhishek and I hope someday I get to meet you. I'll be dancing 😃
One of the great actors who has not got his due
Abhishek Bachan is abetter actor than Sallu...and struggled a lot. Still he always comes up with amazing enthusiasm. He is s superb optimistic person and person of dignity and gratitude...not like old uncle sallu.
Get well soon. Want to watch ur movie soon.
Love this Man since his first film... Amazing #AbhishekBachchan
Strive for progress not perfection ✌️
Thanks for being our inspiration...
Abhishek's best performance was in KANK till date
No i think in Guru
That movie was so under-rated
@@Ashinda as a supporting actor, it was his best. Abhishek's performances in supporting roles were more prominent than his lead roles.
A brilliant actor, super intelligent, articulate, supremely humble, extremely self aware....keep making movies for us....totally agree a theatre experience is something else.
love this guy.. he deserves much more-)
An amazing actor and a very honest person who was never given his due. Respect and a great fan since refugee. 🙏💕
"Been through the Fire" - Abhishek Sweat shirt... Of course Sona (gold) Tabhi Nikharta hai... I hope you read my msg. Abhishek - There is only One Abhishek- You✨⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don't care why ppl Underestimate but you are a great Abhineta⭐️🌹and I admire your patience and commitments in your professional life of almost 20 plus years. I am a big Fan of You for years. When I was only 7 yrs my father took us to watch Amitji Sir's and Jayaji' s movies for many years....:) I am their fan too :) furthermore, you Are a Great Actor because you have your own signature move and your own impact. Please don't change. Get well soon🙏🏻🙏🏻 with your family ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- Sadhna from New York
Really talented actor! But due to various factors, never really got his due! Hope a great future opens up to him in the near future due to the availability of a number of platforms to showcase one's talent today! Rock on, Abhishek! Cheers!😊👍
You could tell that Abhishek is more matured now and very self reflective. To be honest I always enjoyed watching him in more drama/thriller films rather than a typical hero film. I’m looking forward to watch Abhishek’s web series
People like Sonam Kapur, Harshvardhan, Ananya Pandey should learn from him on how to carry yourself as a star kid.
Harshavardhan is like only good and underated
The one actor he is talking about is Mr. Bacchan himself? 😁 Love Abhishek in Yuva and any movies he made with Rani, they had awesome chemistry on reel. I'm loving this interview, he is someone who is very self aware of himself and his surroundings.
What an intelligent actor ..I can listen to him forever .he is completely aware of his privilidges,his talent and he s a bit harsh on himself.like many of you I feel he dint get his due .will definitely watch his next movie in theatres.poised ,calm and a true bachhan.
All these ppl giving interview wearing t-shirt with cool captions. The other day Avinash Tiwary was wearing one such t-shirt. Good.
he is much better than other star kids with zero acting skills like varun, tiger, arjun
Varun can act but needs to make better choices like his contemporaries vicky, ayushmaan, rajkumaar does.
WITH AGE COMES MATURITY!! THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THAT.
Very candid interview... Really like the anecdotes
Waiting for big bull.
Abhishiek is fine actor. So humble and confident and so underrated.
He deserves a lot more than what he Recd.
Poor guy, for him being his father's son has created more hurdles than smoothening the path. Big shoes to fill and got type cast
You can see the wonderful upbringing he has had in the way he speaks and thinks! I wish him luck and hope his future projects do well.
All the very best dear Abhishek .. you are rocking 😎
I hope you are fine and happy in life ... All the very best for your future endeavors
The best and most humble star kid. Love you AB...always a pleasure listening to this man ❤❤❤
Well spoken gentleman !!! Loved Guru, your best movie.
Bluffmaster and Bunty Aur Bubly were Super unusual and what a performance. Hoping to see more Creative films from u in future,
He is so humble
He had dyslexia in childhood. This shows that he is the real fighter. He is the best actor but then also stupid people criticize him
Its very clear from the way he talks that he has been raised very well. He oozes class. No wonder Aishwarya chose him to be her husband.
You are talented. 👍I am proud of your growth. I love you as my kid brother ❤️you r the only on my instagram account 🌹🥰🥰All the very best for your upcoming project 👍
My heart sank a bit when he didnt mention dostana as one of his favourites! I loveeee u AB
He is a good actor..no doubt the film industry tries to suppress him despite him being son of Amitabh jee..
Love to see u man.After a long time so glad,waiting eagerly to see u on screen. Rajiv u r 1st.
My god! He is so brutally honest about himself, his self awareness almost scare you. Being a celebrity , he is so comfortable to say the truth about himself and that is why he is powerful . You can not disturb the peace of mind of the man who knows himself. He is a very powerful person.
Glad to see him happy
I like Abhishek Bachchan but not as an actor. I respect how he has continued to work and not given up with all the failures while being in the shadow of his father.
But in movies only movie and performance of his I liked are Bunty Babli and Yuva.
Dearest AB, Have always loved you since Refugee and will always love you.
Love❤️ Abhishek..!
Guru was his best performance.
I m the real fan of Abhishek....
He is a world class actor............
Love you
Privilege doesn't always lead to success.. The accent OMG...!!! But a man with a clean heart..
