Abhishek Bachchan reveals how Amitabh Bachchan stopped him from quitting films

March 14, 2025 by Areej Afzal

Abhishek Bachchan has carved a space for himself in the industry.
He faced constant comparisons and a string of box office failures.
He was about to quit acting, but his father stopped him.

Actor Abhishek Bachchan has carved a space for himself in the industry today, but his early career was filled with challenges. As the son of Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, he faced constant comparisons and a string of box office failures that made him question his future in the industry. At one point, he even considered quitting acting altogether, but a conversation with his father changed everything.

Speaking to Nayandeep Rakshit on his YouTube channel, Abhishek shared his struggles, admitting that he wasn’t “able to achieve whatever I wanted to achieve and match the standards that I had set for myself.” Frustrated, he decided to step away from films.

“I remember going to my father one night and saying that I have made a mistake and no matter what I am trying, it is not working. Maybe, this is the way of the world telling me that this is not for you,” he recalled. However, Amitabh Bachchan, offering advice as both a mentor and a father, encouraged him to persist.

“I am telling you as an actor and not your father, you have a long way to go, you are nowhere near the finished product but you are improving with every film. Just keep working and you will get there,” Big B told him.

As Abhishek was leaving, his father added a final piece of wisdom: “I did not bring you up to be a quitter, so keep fighting.”

Reflecting on failure, Abhishek shared, “Failure is an integral step to success. Without failure, there’s never going to be success.”

After debuting in 2000 with Refugee, which underperformed, Abhishek faced multiple flops before finding success with Dhoom in 2004. He later gained acclaim for films like Yuva, Dus, Bluffmaster, and Dostana. His latest film, Be Happy, premiered on Amazon Prime Video on March 14.

Amitabh Bachchan’s son in law Nikhil Nanda faces charges of fraud, abetment to suicide

February 18, 2025 by Areej Afzal

Nikhil Nanda is currently at the center of a serious legal case.
A case was filed against Amitabh Bachchan’s son-in-law.
This involves allegations of fraud and abetment to suicide.

Nikhil Nanda, son-in-law of Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, is currently at the center of a serious legal case involving allegations of fraud and abetment to suicide. A case was filed against Nanda in the Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh, following the tragic suicide of businessman Jitendra Singh in November 2024.

Singh, who owned Jai Kisan Traders, a tractor dealership in Dataganj, had reportedly been under intense pressure from Nanda and other senior executives at Escorts Kubota Limited to meet unrealistic sales targets.

Singh, who was already managing his business alone after his partner, Lalla Babu, was imprisoned over a family dispute, allegedly faced threats of losing his dealership license if he did not meet the target.

Overwhelmed by the pressure, Singh tragically took his own life. Singh’s brother, Gyanendra, filed the complaint that led to the legal case against Nanda and other officials, including the chairman and managing director of Escorts Kubota, area managers, sales managers, and a local dealer from Shahjahanpur. They are accused of fraud, intimidation, and driving Singh to suicide.

Nikhil Nanda, who holds a prominent position as the Chairman and Managing Director of Escorts Kubota, has not commented publicly on the allegations.

The Bachchan family, including Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, has also refrained from commenting. Nikhil is married to Shweta Bachchan and has two children, Navya Naveli Nanda and Agastya Nanda.

Despite his significant role in growing Escorts Kubota, Nikhil’s connection to the Kapoor family and Bollywood has not shielded him from the ongoing legal issue.

He immediately apologized to Amitabh after the incident.

Actor Avinash Tiwary recently recalled an embarrassing moment when he accidentally hit legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan during an action scene while shooting for the 2014 TV show Yudh.

Speaking at an event hosted by Indian Express, Avinash shared that the mishap occurred during his very first action sequence. “The first time we met we had to do an action sequence. I had at that point never done an action sequence in my life. In the scene, he had to punch me and I had to duck and give him back. Fortunately, I only hit him on his head, but the embarrassment I felt at that time, I still haven’t recovered from it. It was pin-drop silence on the set,” he recalled.

Avinash further explained how his instinct led him to react in the moment. “I went in for another punch because they didn’t say cut. It was the instinct of an actor that took over,” he added.

After the incident, Avinash immediately apologized to Amitabh, who calmly responded, “Yes, you hit me on the head.” He recalled asking if they should rehearse again, to which Amitabh replied, “But we will do it slowly,” advising him that “action is like choreography, so just dance.”

Currently, Avinash stars in the Netflix film Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, alongside Tamannaah Bhatia and Jimmy Shergill, directed by Neeraj Pandey.

Amitabh expressed how the film deeply resonated with him, saying, “Some films invite you to be entertained… some films invite you to BE the film.

It picks you up gently from your seat in the Theatre and places you, equally gently, inside the screen it is being projected upon.” Praising Abhishek, he added, “Abhishek, you are not Abhishek… you are ARJUN SEN of the film.”

Reflecting on the criticism artists face, Amitabh recalled his late father Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s wisdom: “Let them say what they say… but this is what I say… the say for the film. And I am in remembrance of my poojya Babuji’s words: the good did think of me to be good; the bad did think of me as bad… It was their ‘need’ to think of me as good or bad… not what I was.”

I Want To Talk has been widely discussed for its engaging narrative and Abhishek’s powerful performance. Amitabh’s glowing tribute adds further weight to its impact.

He highlighted his commitment to keeping family matters private.

Veteran Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan has addressed the spread of speculation and unverified information in a cryptic blog post, amid rumours about his son Abhishek Bachchan and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai’s marriage facing difficulties.

Without directly referring to the rumours, the 82-year-old star emphasized the damaging effects of baseless speculation. “Speculations are speculations, they are speculated untruths, without verifications,” Bachchan wrote. He criticized the tendency to circulate unverified claims, saying, “Fill the World with untruth or questioned untruth and your job is over… how it may have affected the subject individual or situation has been hand washed away from your hands… your conscience, if ever you have one, has been overridden.”

Bachchan highlighted his commitment to keeping family matters private. “It takes immense courage, conviction and a sincerity to be different and believe in its presence in life… I rarely say much about family, because that is my domain and its privacy is maintained by me,” he stated.

The actor’s comments arrive amidst speculations about Abhishek and Aishwarya’s relationship, which began in 2006 and led to their marriage in 2007. The couple shares a 13-year-old daughter, Aaradhya.

Amitabh Bachchan shared a fascinating BTS story from “Yaarana.”
He explained that his costume included a special “electric jacket.”
When the power surged, he felt actual electric shocks.

Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan recently shared a captivating behind-the-scenes story from his legendary 1981 film Yaarana, disclosing that he endured real electric shocks while filming the memorable song “Sara Zamana Husn Ka Deewana.” During an episode of his popular TV quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati, Bachchan recounted the unusual experience that took place at Kolkata’s Netaji Subhash Chandra Stadium.

The actor explained that his costume included a special “electric jacket” rigged with wires connected to a switchboard. Due to the limited technology available at the time, the wiring was wrapped around his body, and when the power surged, he felt actual electric shocks. Ironically, these shocks prompted him to dance in a manner unplanned by the choreography.

Bachchan humorously described the primitive technology used to create the jacket, which was adorned with electric bulbs powered by wires fed into a switchboard through his feet. What appeared to be a seamless performance was actually the result of Bachchan’s unexpected “shock therapy.” His anecdotes on Kaun Banega Crorepati offer fans rare glimpses into the challenges he faced during his illustrious film career.

He went on to add, “I called Anil Thadani who was a massive distributor producer, and exhibitor and I called him and he was like ‘Karan are you going crazy? This is pre-Eid, just wait for Monday.’ He said Monday if your advance is good for the second week that means you are home.
