Actor Abhishek Bachchan has been lauded for his performance in his latest release, Dasvi. And his father, actor Amitabh Bachchan, has been most vocal about his act. He took to social media when the film released and wrote, “…Abhishek, tum mere uttradhikari hoge, bus keh diya to keh diya! (sic).” 

Abhishek says, “He is just like any other father. We tend to forget that parents, at the end of the day, are parents. I feel bad for them sometimes. My father told me that he wants to reserve his comments about what he feels [about my performances] at times, because he doesn’t want people to misunderstand and say, ‘You are being biased.’ It was very touching of him to say what he said. It made me emotional and thankful.”

Bachchan senior has been constantly sharing songs and retweeting fan comments about the 46-year-old’s performance in the film that had an OTT release.

“He is very excited. I am a parent as well, so I know you cannot see beyond your children. It gives you so much happiness when you see them happy, healthy, and, hopefully, successful,” adds the Manmarziyaan (2018) actor.

Right before the film released, he had written a note on social media, wherein he mentioned he was “reticent to speak about his films and is borderline apologetic about his work”. Ask him about it, and he replies, “Well, it’s the truth. I just wanted to say I was very excited after seeing the film, happy and proud of our director. I just wanted to put the positivity out there. In the past, I have been shy to say anything, as I thought, ‘Let the film talk’. But with this one, I thought, ‘You know what, I want to talk about it’.”
