Abhishek Bachchan, often compared to his legendary father Amitabh Bachchan and even his wife, Aishwarya Rai, recently opened up about these comparisons in an interview with CNBC-TV18. The actor shared his thoughts on how he handles being measured against his famous family members.

When asked whether being associated with his family's legacy of success and achievements affects him, Abhishek Bachchan responded, “It’s never going to get easy. But after 25 years of being asked the same question, I have become immune to it. If you are comparing me to my father, you are comparing me to the best. If you are comparing me to the best, somewhere I believe that maybe I am worthy of being considered among these great names. I look at it like that. My parents are my parents, my family is my family, my wife is my wife, and I am immensely proud of them and their achievements and what they continue to do.”

He added, “I mean, we are sitting here in a wonderful AC room in Mumbai, doing this interview, having a nice cup of coffee, and that 82-year-old is shooting for KBC from 7 in the morning. He’s leading by example. I want to be like that. When I go to bed at night, all I think is that when I am 82, I want my daughter to be able to say that about me, that, ‘Hey, my dad’s 82 and he’s still at it.’”
