He added, "You fly the flag that Dada ji established, and have carried it through with valour and hard work .. consistency, never giving in, and an attitude of: the more you pull me down, I'll stand again with my hard work and will stand taller. It took time, but you didn't give up. You have shown the world on your own merit. You have been announced as the first artist in Melbourne. No gift can be bigger for a father than this."
Amitabh continued, "They that have recognised your talent and creative contribution, may have been several 'ocean waters' away .. but trust me, in time our own surrounded 'water ways of oceans' shall envelope you in their surging waves. Some years ago I had flown with surging ecstasy about a masterpiece film of yours and your performance."
The veteran actor said a few years ago he prasied a "masterpiece film and performance" of Abhishek but was met with a "sly and scornful laugh". Amitabh, however, didn't share more details as to where this incident took place. "They that command the informative wood-derived paperwork, had ridiculed me and my paternal flamboyance of selfish promotion .. and sniggered at my advertised pride ..The sly and scornful laugh has been silenced by respect and admiration, applaud and admiration," he added.
Amitabh says winning is 'ultimate answer'
"Winning is the ultimate answer to many binding ropes and chains .. ! The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards. You Abhishek just proved that ..Stay quiet and flow at your own wish. With all my love .. a very proud Father and family," concluded Amitabh's note.
On X (formerly Twitter), Amitabh shared Abhishek's photo on a magazine and wrote, "You are not just the cover of the magazine .. you have covered us all with pride and love .. a blessing for us you cannot even begin to imagine."
