Abhishek considers his father as his inspiration and had always said that he is Amit ji's biggest fan. On Karan Johar’s chat show, Koffee With Karan season 6, Abhishek had revealed it was extremely difficult for him when his father reviewed his performances and gave his views on the same. He had stated, "It's very difficult. I have never said this, but it is. Because apart from being a co-star, a son, I'm also his biggest fan. And I genuinely say that. From the bottom of my heart, I believe that he is the greatest actor on earth."
In the same chat show, when asked if he ever felt heavy-hearted on being a part of a particular film but not the central character, Abhishek had replied, “It very weird...I say this with all the respect to my co-stars, I genuinely enjoyed those films but it is heartbreaking for any actor who has been once centre staged to be on the side... It is difficult to digest. That hurt, that humiliation is important. The industry is a brutal place. No one is entitled to say that I am who I am and I deserve this. Everyone has to earn it. You have to earn your place in the industry. From the centre you move to the left frame, it’s very hurtful.”
