Abhishek spoke highly of Inayat Verma, a child actor who he worked with in Ludo and who appears in Be Happy. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, He remarked, “Inayat has been since Ludo, when I first worked with her. She was here yesterday, and she's grown up, become taller, and now carries a small bag. But she's just wonderful. She's possibly the most accomplished actor we had on set—completely professional, knows her lines.”

The actor praised Inayat’s growth, not just physically, but also in terms of her professionalism. “You can’t treat her like a kid. I think that’s very true about this generation. They are very empowered, very confident, and I admire that. They are so clear about what they want, but more importantly about what they don’t want.”

Abhishek further reflected on the generational shift, acknowledging that the current crop of young actors is far more self-assured than those from his time. “I think we all grew up finding our feet along the way, but these kids are very clear. It’s a pleasure,” he said, emphasizing the new level of maturity and focus that today’s young stars exhibit.

His comments shed light on the changing landscape of Bollywood, where child actors are no longer treated as just a novelty but as equal professionals, capable of delivering nuanced performances alongside seasoned veterans. As the industry continues to evolve, it’s clear that the next generation of actors is stepping up with an admirable level of confidence and skill.
