Megastar Amitabh Bachchan and actor Abhishek Bachchan have always shared one of Bollywood’s most admired father-son bonds. Known for their quiet affection, the two often express their connection through heartfelt gestures and now, Amitabh has shared a deeply personal moment that captures the essence of their relationship.
In a recent post on his blog, the 81-year-old actor revealed how Abhishek’s unannounced visit brought him calm and comfort at a time when he was feeling anxious and displaced. “And in the distress of dislocation of disconnection of just the futility of displacement… comes a welcome breath… the SON… walks into my room unannounced… in a surprise… simply washed away all the negativity the worry the anxiousness (sic),” Amitabh wrote.
‘Abhishek is a beautiful, considerate partner…’
The veteran actor reflected on the warmth his son brought in that quiet, unexpected moment. “Abhishek is a beautiful, considerate partner, friend and more (sic),” he added, expressing gratitude for the reassurance that family continues to bring him even after decades in the public eye.
Amitabh, who married actor and politician Jaya Bachchan in June 1973, is father to two children, Shweta and Abhishek. Over the years, the Bachchan family has remained one of Bollywood’s most closely knit households, with both Amitabh and Abhishek often praising each other’s work and character in public.
