"I've completed 16 years in the industry and it has been a mix of highs and lows. There has been tremendous learning and I'm still hungry to do a lot more. It's been a great journey and it makes me happy and proud that I'm a part of this industry," Abhishek told IANS in an email interview arranged by Omega, the official timekeeper of Olympics. Abhishek is the brand ambassador for Omega.

He admits a flop doesn't leave one feeling good.
"If we give a flop film, people stop taking our calls; then it does not matter whose kid you are. It's true that a flop is the worst feeling in the world and destroys you as a human being," added the 40-year-old. An ardent believer in the power of staying positive, Abhishek says, "If you want good things to happen in your life, you first have to believe good things are possible for yourself".

"Every actor is very emotional and so am I. I feel it's important to learn to see the brighter side of life, and possess a sense of humour for that. My sense of humour has saved me many times when I have felt low, the actor said. "When you are low, you have to be very positive and think of the bright side. And I think I am a very positive person," said the husband of internationally known actress Aishwarya Rai, with whom he has a daughter, Aaradhya.
