A few days back, when Dasvi's trailer was released, the proud father, Amitabh Bachchan had appreciated his son, Abhishek's performance in it. Declaring him to be his heir, Amitabh had quoted his father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan's poem and had tweeted:
"Mere bete, bete hone se tum mere uttradhikari nahi hoge. Jo mere uttradhikari honge, wo mere bete honge. --Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Abhishek, tum mere uttradhikari hoge, bus keh diya to keh diya."
On March 23, 2022, Amitabh Bachchan had written a long note expressing his feelings for his son, Abhishek Bachchan. He had shared how proud it feels to be recognised as his son's father. Quoting, Harivansh Rai Bachchan's poem, Vasiyatnama, Amitabh had revealed about inheritance. He had penned:
"Such pride in the progeny, or as they call it humorously --my progress report! The greatest joy for a Father is to witness the achievements of his children .. to savour the glory they bring to his name .. to be in the recognition as the Father of Abhishek, rather the other way round .. and Abhishek sums it up for me .. I have given this example often through one of babuji’s poem on the ‘vasiyatnama’ the WILL of inheritance, that is written for the progeny on the passing of the elder ..one of the most prominent lines of the verse are: my sons will not be my inheritors my heir apparent, my successors, just because they are my sons; instead they that are my successors, my uttaradhikari’s, shall be my sons."
Well surely, Abhishek Bachchan is the perfect uttradhikari to his father, Amitabh Bachchan. What do you think?
