Amitabh Bachchan turned into a cheerleader as his son, Abhishek Bachchan won an award for acting. Here is how Big B recalled how Abhishek used to get mocked in the past!
Abhishek Bachchan made an impactful debut in 2000 with the film, Refugee. He went on to entertain cinema-goers with superhit movies like Dhoom, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Dostana, among others. However, Abhishek was always pitted against his father and legendary actor, Amitabh Bachchan, during his acting career. But Abhishek never let the constant comparison take a toll on his self-confidence. Since 2020, he has worked in back-to-back outstanding OTT movies and called himself ‘The Bachchan Of OTT’.
On December 22, 2022, Amitabh Bachchan took to his IG handle and uploaded a screen grab from the Filmfare OTT Awards Mumbai. The veteran actor also expressed his proud moment as a daddy. Since Abhishek Bachchan won the award for best actor for the film, Dasvi, Big B has been overjoyed with happiness. In his note, Amitabh penned how people used to ridicule, mock and shame Abhishek for his dull career in Bollywood, but he silently proved his acting mettle with Dasvi. He penned:
“My pride .. my joy .. you have proved your point .. you were derided , ridiculed mocked .. but you silently without any tom tomming , showed your mettle .. you are and shall ever be the BEST, and remember WHTCTW!!!”

Over the years, Abhishek Bachchan has been facing criticism from the audience with his open arms. From being called a talentless actor to being targeted for nepotism, Abhishek had faced it all. In an old interview, he was asked if he would like to travel in the past and cut all the ties with his superstar parents, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. Answering this, Junior Bachchan had said that he would never do that as he finds enormous pride in being Amitabh and Jaya’s son. Moreover, he had also called it a privilege that he was born with a silver spoon.
In an interview with India Today, Abhishek had revealed that his mom, Jaya Bachchan refused to watch his web series, Breathe: Into The Shadows 2. He mentioned how his family members were all set to experience the action-packed series, except his mom. Stating a hilarious reason behind it, Abhishek stated that Jaya gets scared of violent and aggressive content, so she avoids watching action movies.
We love how Amitabh Bachchan became a cheerleader for his son, Abhishek Bachchan.
