Abhishek Bachchan remembers days of financial crisis in his family

Abhishek Bachchan

Abhishek Bachchan recently went on The Ranveer Show Podcast and claimed that he left Boston halfway through his acting education to assist his father, Amitabh Bachchan, through a difficult time.

During his chat, the Bob Biswas actor reflected on his years studying acting in Boston. During the financial crisis, he stated he flew back to India merely to be with his family.

Ranveer Allahbadia, who plays Amitabh Bachchan in the film Refugee, spoke with Ranveer Allahbadia about the time when Amitabh had to worry about feeding his family in Mumbai.

“I called him and I said ‘You know dad, I think I want to leave college halfway and come back and just be with you, try and help you in whatever way. At least you’ll know that your boy is next to you and he’s there for you,” Abhishek said.

The 45-year-old actor further revealed that while in the United States, Amitabh phoned him and advised him to work on his Hindi when he returned.

He said, “I’m glad, come back. Bhasha sikho (learn the language). Because Shakespeare doesn’t work over here. And I realise that today, that I was very out of context.

Abhishek Bachchan reveals, Aishwarya Rai was paid more than him

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan revealed a shocking fact about the pay difference between him and his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the films they worked on together in an interview with director Shoojit Sircar.

He revealed that Aishwarya was actually paid more than him in eight out of the nine films they worked together for.

He also said that the pay is dependent on your saleability as an actor and not on one’s gender.

“There’s a huge debate on gender parity in the film business and in other industries. I’ve worked in nine films with my wife and in eight of those, she’s got paid more than I have. The highest-paid actor in Piku was Deepika. It’s a business and if you are a saleable actor, you get paid accordingly. You can’t be a new actress and demand to be paid the same as Shah Rukh Khan.” he stated

The husband and wife duo has featured in several hit Bollywood films such as Guru, Dhoom 2, Kuch Na Kaho, Dhai Akshar Prem Ke, Sarkar Raj, Bunty Aur Babli, and Umrao Jaan among others.
