On Koffee With Karan Season 6, brother-sister duo Abhishek and Shweta had set the Koffee couch on fire with their interesting anecdotes about childhood and baring their heart out about their professional and personal lows. When asked what she loves, hates and tolerates about her brother, Shweta replied, “He is very loyal and he is a very dedicated family man. Not just as a son but also a husband.” On what she hates about him, “I hate he thinks he knows it all.” And what she tolerates about Abhishek, she said, "His sense of humour."
Speaking about the downfall in his career graph, Abhishek had stated on the show, “It’s tricky; it’s not the pressure of what was happening...it was more about how I was approaching my work which I thought was incorrect. I was becoming very complacent and unconformable. I was part of huge films, huge budgets, huge stars, huge collections, everything was hunky-dory, I had no pressure as I was standing by the side or behind somebody else who was shouldering all the pressure, and I was making lots of money, those films were making lots of money, it became very easy. With all respect to my all co-stars, I didn’t come to the industry to the stand behind anyone.”
When asked if he ever felt heavy-hearted on being a part of the film but not the central role, Abhishek 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 the 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 centre you move to the left frame, it’s very hurtful.” (Also Read: Rajinikanth's Daughter Soundarya To Marry Again After Failed Marriage, Wife Asks For Police Security)
