Befriending Legendary Actor Amitabh Bachchan: A Career Spanning 25 Years With 29 Flops, Yet Earning Rs... per Film, Meet the Star Known as...
In an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, Amitabh Bachchan declared Abhishek as his best buddy, stating, "I consider Abhishek my best friend. Just like the old saying goes, when a son starts wearing his father's shoes, he is no longer a son; he becomes a friend. Abhishek wears all my shoes because he and I have the same foot size. We talk about things I can't discuss with others."
Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, renowned for his extensive career spanning over 50 years, has shared the screen with numerous stars such as Dharmendra, Shatrughan Sinha, Shashi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna, Rajesh Khanna, Sanjeev Kumar, Rishi Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Ranbir Kapoor, and Ayushmann Khurrana. However, apart from Abhishek, Amitabh's circle is relatively small.
In an old interview with Vir Sanghvi, Bachchan admitted to having few friends, saying, "It's not got anything to do with that. I find the whole process of meeting, of introductions, of getting close to each other, the whole process of friendship - I just don't fall in place there."
The father-son duo has never let their professional lives come between their bond. Abhishek made his debut in 2000 with Refugee, followed by 29 flops and a handful of hits. Despite this, their bond remains as strong as ever.
According to National Herald India, Subhash Jha once disclosed that Amitabh's only best friend is Abhishek, who can even plunder Bachchan sahab's wardrobe. As of now, Abhishek charges Rs 12 crore per film and has an estimated net worth of Rs 280 crores.
It's apparent that Amitabh and Abhishek share a unique and intense bond that goes beyond the traditional father-son relationship. However, it should be noted that, according to available information, Amitabh does not consider Abhishek his only best friend in Bollywood. Media reports focus mainly on their close-knit family relationships, but specific claims about Amitabh labeling Abhishek as his exclusive best friend in the industry are not substantiated.
Amitabh Bachchan, a Bollywood icon with a long career spanning over five decades, shares the screen with many celebrated celebrities such as Abhishek, Dharmendra, and Shah Rukh Khan. Abhishek, the son of Amitabh, despite experiencing 29 flops and a few hits, maintains a strong bond with his father. National Herald India reported that Abhishek is Amitabh's only best friend who can even plunder his wardrobe, but it seems that Amitabh Bachchan considers other individuals in Bollywood as his best friends too, beyond the close-knit relationship with Abhishek.
