In a candid sit-down interview, Abhishek Bachchan opened up to the young audience at a local college event, giving them an insight into his mind as an actor. As he voiced his opinions on some of his most famous films, he also opened up about his experience of working with some of his co-stars, like Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan, and even his father, Amitabh Bachchan.
When asked about Dhoom 3 completing 10 years, Abhishek spoke about how it was a dream for him to work with Aamir Khan and have him be a part of the franchise. He recalled a recent conversation with co-star Uday Chopra where they both were astounded by how quickly time flies, especially considering the fact that even Dhoom will complete 20 years in the coming year.

In a rather heartwarming note, Abhishek spoke about an instance that occurred soon after the release of LOC: Kargil, when a mother of one of the fallen soldiers came up to director J.P. Dutta and said that even though her son was dead, they were able to enjoy his presence for four more hours through the film. This touched Abhishek’s heart and cemented his belief that actors can change someone's life through their films.
When asked about his film Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon, he mentioned how he and Hrithik were in the same school together, and how even though Hrithik was a few years senior they had a bond, which is what made it all the more wholesome when they got to share space on the big screen.
He also spoke about working with Shah Rukh Khan calling it ‘fantastic’, and admired his dedication. Abhishek was also all praises for his father Amitabh Bachchan, lauding his sincerity and dedication, especially given his age. He also mentioned that if there was one thing he would like to have from any of his co-stars, it would be his father's dedication and drive towards his craft.
Abhishek also gave them a glimpse of his journey while shooting for films like Bunty Aur Babli and Sarkar, talking about how the latter was the first time he faced his father on camera. Abhishek spoke about how the first time working with someone like Amitabh Bachchan was always special, and even though he is a very giving and generous actor, his very presence and aura can leave even the biggest of actors starstruck.
The actor also gave a bit of trivia about Bunty Aur Babli, and how Amitabh Bachchan was sceptical about the song ‘Kajra Re’. He revealed that he and Shaadi Ali were the ones who convinced Big B that the song was worth doing and would still be played in clubs 20 years later, which turned out to be true as ‘Kajra Re’ continues to be one of the most popular Bollywood songs till date.
Junior Bachchan also spoke about his films Guru and Yuva, which he believes were ‘amazing opportunities’ for him as an actor, because it they gave him an opportunity to change someone's life. Abhishek added that while the Box Office will always be important to actors, it is also important for them to remember their role as an artist and the ability they have to change someone's life with what they bring to the big screen.
Abhishek Bachchan aimed at showing them what it is like behind the curtain of glitz and glamour along with imparting a few life lessons along the way and we hear that they cheered for the star throughout.
