Coming from a legendary Bollywood lineage, Abhishek Bachchan often finds himself compared to his superstar parents, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, and his globally celebrated wife, Aishwarya Rai. Despite not achieving the same global recognition, Abhishek has learned to embrace these comparisons. Speaking to CNBC-TV18, he said:
“It’s never going to get easy. But after 25 years of being asked the same question, I have become immune to it. If you are comparing me to my father, you are comparing me to the best. I believe that maybe I am worthy of being considered among these great names. I look at it like that.”

Inspired By Amitabh’s Work Ethic at 82
The actor admires his father Amitabh Bachchan’s relentless passion for work, even at the age of 82. Sharing an anecdote, he said:
“We are sitting here in a wonderful AC room in Mumbai, doing this interview, having a nice cup of coffee, and that 82-year-old is shooting for KBC from 7 in the morning. He’s leading by example. I want to be like that. When I go to bed at night, all I think is that when I am 82, I want my daughter to say, ‘Hey, my dad’s 82 and he’s still at it.’”

But I’m prouder of the surname he blessed us with. I will do whatever I can to ensure the love we receive because of my grandfather continues. I hope my daughter Aaradhya and future generations can uphold and respect that legacy.”
