Amitabh pens feelings about son's struggles

Ruminating further about Abhishek's acting career, the doting father wrote that the Ludo star has faced criticism gracefully while keeping intact the legacy he inherited as the son of a film star.

"His talent and his perseverance in the storms of naysayers, ominously crowding him .. and his nonchalance .. continuing regardless , undisturbed unperturbed .. exhibiting the grace and generosity of his upbringing in keeping the legacy he inherits alive and spreading each day…"

Abhishek Bachchan, last seen in Anurag Basu's Ludo, completed 20 years in Bollywood in 2020. Since the beginning of his career in 2000 with JP Dutta's Refugee, Abhishek has been repeatedly subjected to comparisons with his father that often overshadowed his films and performances.
