Celebrating 25 Years of Abhishek Bachchan
The admiration comes at a milestone moment—Abhishek recently completed 25 years in the film industry since his debut in JP Dutta’s 2000 romantic drama Refugee. To mark the occasion, Amitabh reshared a fan-made montage of Abhishek’s diverse performances over the years.
He captioned it with heartfelt words: “Is Variety ko mein pranam karta hoon, aur apne putra ki sarahna karta hoon. Jee haan, pita hoon main uska, aur mere liye mera putra Abhishek sarahna karne yogya hai.” (I bow to this variety and I praise my son. Yes, I’m his father, and for me my son Abhishek is worthy of praise.)
Amitabh’s public display of affection and pride for Abhishek serves as a touching reminder that behind the star persona is a father who deeply values his son’s artistic journey and emotional resilience.
