Indian film actor Abhishek Bachchan has given us some blockbuster movies like ‘Yuva’, ‘Sarkar’, and ‘Alvida Naa Kehna’ ever since he made his acting debut in 2000 with ‘Refugee’. However, he has also been through a rough patch in his career.
The downfall impacted him so much that he once decided to quit the industry after consecutive flop movies.
“To fail on a public platform is very difficult. There was no social media back then, but I read via media that some were abusing me while some said that I do not know acting,” Hindustan Times quoted him saying. He recalls confiding in his father about this dilemma.
“At one point in time, I felt it was my mistake that I came into the industry as whatsoever I was trying, it was not working. I went to my dad and said maybe I am not made for this industry,” he added.
That’s when his father, Amitabh Bachchan gave him some life lessons. “I never brought you up to be quitter. Every morning you have to wake up and fight for your place under the sun. As an actor, you are improving with every film,” Big B said advising him to take every role that comes in his way and just work hard. “Just work and trust me you will be fine,” Senior Bachchan said.
Of late, Abhishek seems to be in his best form and is giving some of the best performances of his career. Not just junior Bachchan, we all should pay heed to Big B’s advice and work hard to realize our dreams.
