Amitabh Bachchan is beaming with pride after his son Abhishek Bachchan bagged the Best Actor award for I Want To Talk at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IIFM) 2025. The megastar took to his blog to share a heartfelt note along with pictures of Abhishek, calling himself 'the happiest father in the entire universe'. He wrote, 'Abhishek, you are the pride and honour of the family. You fly the flag that Dadaji established and have carried it with valour and hard work. Consistency, never giving in, and an attitude of: no matter how much you bring me down, I will rise again with my effort — and stand even taller. It took time, but you never gave up. You showed the world your strength. At Melbourne, they declared you the Best Actor. There can be no greater gift for a father.'

'Those who recognised your talent may have been several oceans away, but in time, our own shores shall embrace you with the same surging waves. Years ago, I celebrated a masterpiece performance of yours. Many ridiculed me then, dismissing my words as paternal flamboyance. But that sly laughter has now been silenced by respect and applause.' He concluded his note with a powerful message: 'Winning is the ultimate answer to many binding ropes and chains. The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards. You, Abhishek, have proved that. Stay quiet and flow at your own wish. With all my love — a very proud father and family.' Apart from Abhishek Bachchan, the festival honoured Geetha Kailasam with the Best Actress award, Jaideep Ahlawat with the Best Actor (Series) award for Paatal Lok 2, and Nimisha Sajayan with the Best Actress (Series) award for Dabba Cartel.

'Main bohut chota insaan hoon in sab cheezo k liye… ki main Khan sir ki ya Ranbir Kapoor ki popularity ko judge karu ki woh kis tarah ka abhineta hai ya kis tarah ka star hai? Mujhe aesa manna hai ki yeh koi jaan bujhke nahi hua hoga. Popularity hona, stardom hona ek alag cheez hai, usmein abhineta bhi ho sakta hai (I'm an insignificant person to talk about these things…to judge the popularity of Shah Rukh or Ranbir Kapoor , as an actor and star.

Bollywood actor Jaideep Ahlawat is currently earning praise for his performance in the Netflix film Jewel Thief. During a promotional interview with Bollywood Bubble, Jaideep gave a quirky response when asked what he thinks Deepika Padukone could be accused of stealing. (Also Read: Jaideep Ahlawat laughs at reports of him charging ₹20 crore for Paatal Lok 2: 'Hai kahan ye paisa, gaya kahan') When Nikita Dutta failed to answer what Deepika could be accused of stealing, Jaideep replied, 'Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next script. Before it goes to someone else.' Nikita burst into laughter and responded, 'Only you have the guts to say this!' A Reddit user shared the video on the platform, sparking a mixed response. While some appreciated Jaideep's cheeky comment, others felt he wouldn't say the same about 'nepo kids'. One comment read, 'Cheeky Jaideep! But I don't think DP needs to steal SLB's script.' Another said, 'It's easy to say such things about Deepika, Kangana, Priyanka — because they know no one's coming at them with pitchforks. But they'll never say such things about nepo kids, because they know how badly it could affect their networking with industry biggies.' Another user wrote, 'Jaideep's trying to be mainstream.' One more added, 'That'll be Alia. But they don't have the courage to go after Nepos.' Deepika Padukone has worked in three films directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali — Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani, and Padmaavat. All three proved to be blockbusters, earning ₹218.07 crore, ₹362.00 crore, and ₹585 crore worldwide, respectively. Deepika was last seen in Rohit Shetty's Singham Again, which also featured Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, and Arjun Kapoor in key roles. She is yet to announce her next project. Jaideep was most recently seen in the Netflix film Jewel Thief, alongside Kunal Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, and Nikita Dutta. He will next be seen in Raj & DK's hit series The Family Man Season 3, which stars Manoj Bajpayee, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Priyamani, and others, and is scheduled for release on Prime Video in October this year.
