Most recently seen in the 2024 film I Want to Talk, Abhishek is gearing up for exciting upcoming projects, including Housefull 5 and Be Happy.
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai have been married since 2007.
Abhishek Bachchan, who made his Bollywood debut 25 years ago with JP Dutta’s Refugee, recently reflected on his career trajectory and personal philosophy. Speaking with CNBC, the actor addressed whether he considers this phase of his career the ‘interval or climax’ and shared his thoughts on legacy, spirituality, and family.
When asked if he views this point in his career as an ‘interval or climax,’ Abhishek candidly responded, “Right now, I think interval would be right. I mean, I’ve been at this for 25 years. I’m no spring chicken. But I do feel that a new phase is about to start. 2025. It’s a good number, as in a halfway kind of thing.”
The actor also shared his perspective on his spiritual journey, stating that he identifies as more spiritual than religious. Speaking about the pivotal role of family in his life, Abhishek said, “I am what I am today because of my family. I do what I do for my family, past, present and future. Their opinion matters the most to me. I’m immensely proud of my name, which was given to me by my grandfather. But I’m prouder of the surname he bestowed and blessed us with. I will work and do whatever I have to ensure the continuance of the love that we get because of my grandfather. I hope that my daughter (Aaradhya) and subsequent generations can respect that and have the same belief system.”
Abhishek’s debut in Refugee earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. However, the film faced stiff competition at the box office from Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, starring Hrithik Roshan and Amisha Patel. Despite initial setbacks, his career gained momentum after his powerful performance in Mani Ratnam’s 2004 film Yuva, where he played a gangster.
