Amitabh Bachchan, clearly a proud dad moment, just straight-up bowed to Abhishek Bachchan as his son hit 25 years in Bollywood.
He went online (yeah, X, which used to be Twitter—still weird saying that), and responded to a fan account hyping up Abhishek’s wild variety of roles over the years.
Amitabh Bachchan is all praises for son Abhishek Bachchan
The fan account posted a montage of Abhishek morphing into all these different characters, and the caption was pretty punchy: “Celebrating 25 years of @juniorbachchan, the man who mastered wit, timing, and that unbeatable comic swag. Here’s to the laughs that never missed!” Not gonna lie, kinda true.
Amitabh’s reply was all heart. He wrote in Hindi, “Is variety ko maine pranaam karta hoon, aur apne putra ki sarahna karta hoon. Jee haan, pita hoon main uska, aur mere liye mera putra Abhishek sarahna karne yogya hai,” which, in normal-people English, is basically: “I bow to this variety, I praise my son. Yes, I’m his father, and to me, my son Abhishek deserves all the praise.” No filter, just straight-up dad pride.
Amitabh Bachchan Sends His Blessings
He didn’t stop there. In another post, Amitabh mentioned Abhishek’s upcoming projects, giving his blessings and hyping him up again. He said, “Ek chap ke kuch hi dinon mein, release hone waali hai .. aur ek aur nayi film ki shuruaat ho gayi hai ..pehla din film KING ki shooting…My blessings Bhaiyu .. love and more.
And one more film shooting is complete and ready and coming soon..my prayers ever.” If your dad isn’t sending you love like that, get yourself a new one.
Quick refresher—Abhishek kicked off his Bollywood stint with JP Dutta’s Refugee back in 2000, sharing the screen with Kareena Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Sunil Shetty, and Anupam Kher.
Since then, he’s been everywhere: Om Jai Jagadish, LOC Kargil, Yuva, Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar, Dhoom, Delhi-6, Happy New Year, The Big Bull, I Want to Talk—the list’s kinda long.
इस वैरायटी Variety को मैं प्रणाम करता हूँ , और अपने पुत्र की सराहना करता हूँ ! जी हाँ, पिता हूँ मैं उसका, और मेरे लिये मेरा पुत्र अभिषेक सराहना करने योग्य है 🙏❤️❤️ https://t.co/XcvgtrDM6d

Abhishek Bachchan’s Upcoming Projects
Next up, Abhishek’s leading Kaalidhar Laapata, dropping July 4 on Zee5. Directed by Madhumita, it’s got Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub in there too.
Abhishek’s playing a middle-aged guy battling memory loss and abandonment. He crosses paths with Ballu, an eight-year-old orphan hustling on the streets. The two end up on this wild journey together—looks like the kind of film with both heart and grit.
And yes, Abhishek’s also in King, directed by Siddharth Anand, with a stacked cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, Jaideep Ahlawat, Abhay Verma, Suhana Khan, and probably half of Bollywood at this rate. Not messing around with the line-up.
All in all, 25 years in, and Abhishek’s still got new stories to tell. If Amitabh’s this proud, you know the guy’s doing something right.
