Hailing from one of Bollywood's most successful families, Abhishek Bachchan's film journey kickstarted with the much-hyped Refugee in 2000. Though the movie did not have a glorious ride at the box office, it revealed to India the tall, young and handsome Bachchan Jr. As is the way with the world, comparisons were made and parallels were drawn between superstar Papa (Amitabh Bachchan) and débutante son. “Not like his father,” “Can never match Big B,” “Just another starlet. Nothing more.” Opinions, comments, prophesies followed. And as a few B-town soothsayers predicted, most of Abhi's first few films were flops.
But, finally the big break happened. The son lived up to his lineage and proved himself worthy of his actor parents. His stunning performance in Mani Ratnam's Yuva turned all eyes on him. And then a series of hits like Bluffmaster, Kuch Na Kaho, KANK, Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar, Guru and Dhoom followed.
Now, with a Padma Shri recipient wife (Aishwarya Rai) and a well-established acting career, Abhishek Bachchan is one of the most happening stars of India. Today is his 33rd birthday. Though last year was a mixed bag of failure (Drona) and success (Dostana) for the actor, this year looks promising with the much-anticipated Delhi 6.
