Abhishek Bachchan carries a huge legacy – with his grandfather Harivanshrai Bachchan being one of the most renowned Indian poets and father Amitabh Bachchan being a legendary actor. His mother Jaya Bachchan also is one of the best actresses we have. In a recent interview, Abhishek has said that he also wants to leave behind a tangible legacy for his daughter, not just creative.
The actor said during a chat with CNBC-TV18, “My grandfather was a poet, my father and mother are actors, I am an actor, and so is my wife. We are a creative legacy, but if I can leave behind something tangible, I think that would be a valuable contribution to the family. I think I should work towards leaving something tangible for my daughter, apart from creativity. That’s why I look at the work I do beyond acting as an endeavour to achieve that whether it’s through sports or other businesses that I get involved in.”
He also continued and expressed that he’s very proud of his surname and the legacy he carries. “I am proud of the surname that my grandfather bestowed upon us, and I will work to ensure the continuity of the love and respect we receive because of the work he did. I hope my daughter and the coming generations respect that too,” he said.
During the same chat he said that while he believes in God, for him, his parents come first. Abhishek said, “I don’t know if I am overtly religious. I have my equation with God, but before I go to God, I go to my parents. I think they should be the first people you lean on. To me, they are equivalent to God. I am what I am because of my family. I’m a very family-oriented person. Everything I do, I do for my family, and they are my go-to people. As long as you can go home to a loving, supportive, healthy, happy family, I think you’re good. My family’s opinion matters the most to me.”
On work front, Abhishek was last seen in ‘I Want To Talk’.
