By now all those who know Abhishek Bachchan know he is the biggest prankster on this side of Asha Parekh and Ajay Devgn.

Abhishek Bachchan the prankster strikes Farah Khan’s twitter account

One of his favourite on-the-sets pranks is to send out messages from his co-stars' phones. During the shooting of Bluffmaster, director Rohan Sippy and co-star Priyanka Chopra found text messages being sent from their phones that they never would have sent themselves.

And now comes the revelation from Junior Bachchan himself that during the shooting of Farah Khan's Happy New Year he sent out mischievous tweets from Farah's phone praising himself.

Such tweets included, 'Abhishek Bachchan on the sets...so excited..He's just the best.'

'This Junior Bachchan is fantastic!' and 'I wish all my actors were as accomplished and professional as junior Bachchan.'

On Comedy Nights With Kapil next weekend Abhishek sportingly lets out the cat from the bag about his own prank.

A source from the show's team says, "Everyone on the show Shah Rukh, Sonu Sood, Vivaan Shah, Boman Irani, Farah were having fun. But Abhishek was a real sport. He took a potshot at himself regarding the self-praise from Farah's twitter account, which was really something."

Speaking of phone-related matters, Abhishek also reveals on Comedy Nights With Kapil that all the Bachchans are obligated to have at least one meal together every day. And phones are not allowed on the dining table.
