Any actor will tell you that it is a dream of theirs to act with “The Amitabh Bachchan”, in 2005 this fan got not one but two opportunities. There is so much to share about all the films I did in 2005... perhaps, some other time and some other medium. For now, as I reminisce... I’m eternally grateful to get the opportunity to be a part of these films. Never had I imagined that I would be a part of even one “career defining movie” ( you always hope ) to be a part of 5, that too in the same year is unbelievable! @amitabhbachchan."

Recalling anecdotes of his 20-year-long journey in the film industry, he had shared a video of his 2001 film, Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai, and had written about the hilarious incident in the caption, "#RoadTo20 The year- 2001 #BasItnaSaKhwaabHai Two childhood best friends who wanted to make a movie together ever since they were thrown off the set of their fathers' film for breaking the props because as a 5 yr old and 6 yr old we got excited seeing fake swords on set. The movie was #Pukar and @goldiebehl ‘s father ( the great Ramesh Behl) was the Director and my dad the lead. During the climax shoot in Goa, we chanced upon the fake swords and started playing with them and then eventually breaking them. We were promptly sent back to the crew hotel. 19 yrs later we made our first film together. @goldiebehl @srishtibehlarya @amitabhbachchan."

The junior Bachchan had felt elated on thriving in the industry for 20 years! To celebrate the same, he had posted a video and had written a heartfelt note in the caption, which could be read as "#RoadTo20 It’s hard to believe that at the end of this month I will complete 20yrs as an actor! It’s been a wonderful journey thus far. I’m not one to look back and dwell on the past, but, once in a while, it’s nice to remember the good and (sometimes) bad times. #RoadTo20 is an attempt to take you through these 20 years of my life as an actor. Maybe relive some of the memories and experiences. It is a celebration of all the people that have made all this possible. The countless people who had faith and belief in a tall, slightly awkward, foreign returned 22yr old boy who had a lifelong dream... one that he has spent the last 20 years living." Abhishek's doting sister, Shweta Bachchan Nanda had commented, "Many more to come G onwards and upwards" followed by a red heart emoji.
