Bollywood actor, Abhishekh Bachchan appeared in an interview with a publication and revealed that he was not brought up with a silver spoon in his mouth despite being son of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan.
The 45-year-old actor gave credits to his mother for providing him with a “completely normal middle-class upbringing” and making him accomplish things on “own merit”.
The Guru star also shared that the connections will never help you in your career.
Bachchan told the outlet, “At the end of the day, when the audience is in that theatre, they're going to be watching you. They've bought a ticket to your film. If they want to see Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, or Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, they'll buy a ticket to their movies, why would they come to my movies?”
He added, “We are all here to entertain the audiences. We are here because a part of us, apart from creative satisfaction, also want to hear the applause. You want to get the pat on the back saying, ‘Job well done’. That’s a large part of being an actor.”
Abhishek concluded, “It’s a wonderful thing. Why do we try and stay away from it in our false attempt at being humble? I love it when the films that I work in do well. I love it when the audience gives me positive feedback. I am concerned when my films don’t do well. I am concerned if I don’t get good feedback for my work. I learn from it.”
