Amitabh Bachchan asks Abhishek Bachchan to ‘fight till the very end'; praises him for never comparing himself to others: ‘One should never give up'
Amitabh Bachchan has been all praises for his son Abhishek Bachchan as he completed 25 years in the film industry this year. Recently, Big B took to Tumblr and advised Abhishek to never give up and to keep fighting. Amitabh wrote, 'The essence of life is NEVER GIVE UP .. fight till the very end .. you may win you may lose .. BUT AT LEAST YOU FOUGHT. The 'pluckiest' .. loser has more respect than the 'so called winner ' .. for the pluckiest loser always shall be remembered by – 'he fought and almost WON'. That has a greater sense of success than the more monetary guideline of commercial success .. 25 years !! that is no mean feat .. comparisons with others is a weakness .. the results speak more than any other 'ness.'' Amitabh Bachchan also praised Abhishek Bachchan for not comparing himself to others and said he admires this quality in his son. He wrote, 'You Abhishek have ever and ALWAYS compared yourself with yourself .. not many can do that .. And each day I learn more and more and more .. They tell me you have done enough sit back and relax ..NO .. sitting back is a defeat of life – you are giving up .. and one should NEVER GIVE UP.' Abhishek Bachchan began his career in films alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan in JP Dutta's 2000 film Refugee. In an earlier interaction, the actor had admitted that many filmmakers refused to launch him at that time, as they didn't want to take the responsibility of launching superstar Amitabh Bachchan's son. Speaking to Nayandeep Rakshit, he had said, 'I didn't understand then but I understood when I signed Refugee. They were like, 'We don't want the responsibility of launching Amitabh Bachchan's son.' I didn't get that, but when I started working and I started seeing firsthand what my father meant to the film industry — fellow actors, directors — I said, you know, I get it. He's such an immense figure that people have so much love and respect for, and I think that's amazing. I can understand why people said, 'Don't put that on us.'' Over the years, Abhishek Bachchan has starred in fan-favourite films like Yuva, Dhoom, Bunty Aur Babli, Bluffmaster, Manmarziyaan, Delhi-6, and others. However, his career-defining role was in Mani Ratnam's 2007 film Guru. Recently, Abhishek's films like I Want to Talk, Ghoomer, Be Happy, and Kaalidhar Laapata have seen him portray father figures. He also starred in the multi-starrer Housefull 5. The actor will next be seen in Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film King.
