Abhishek Bachchan opened up about his relationship with his parents, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. He revealed that, unlike typical father-son relationships, he and Amitabh share a friendly bond. Contrary to this, his relationship with his mother, Jaya Bachchan, is more traditional and old-school.
“I’m close to both of my parents. But it’s a different equation with each,” Abhishek Bachchan told the Times of India. He explained, “I share a more traditional mother-son relationship with my mom. My father is more of a friend.”
“It’s very hard to differentiate between the two, but there’s a difference between my relationship with the two,” he said. Amitabh’s fondness for Abhishek is clearly visible on the veteran actor’s social media handles. Amitabh frequently praises Abhishek and his filmography on his X account.
After the release of Abhishek’s last film, I Want To Talk, Amitabh was so impressed that he frequently shared people’s positive reactions on X and even wrote, “Magical is the IN word… my love blessings and more…” He continued in Hindi, “Mere bete, bete hone se mere uttaradhikari nahin honge; jo mere uttaradhikari honge woh mere bete honge. Abhishek mere bete; mere uttaradhikari (My son, being a son does not make him my successor; those who will be my successors will be my sons. Abhishek is my son, my successor).”
He also wrote, “Profound and filled with merit .. your humanity and your departure from any vanity as an actor in I WANT TO TALK, is what makes you superior !! ईश्वर कृपा, दादा जी दादी का आशीर्वाद, और पूरे परिवार का स्नेह और प्यार, सदा ! अच्छाई का परिणाम अच्छा होता है ! और तुम बहुत अच्छे हो (With God’s grace, the blessings of Grandpa and Grandma, and the love and affection of the entire family, always! Goodness brings good results! And you are very good).”
Amitabh’s love for Abhishek remains on full display on social media and even during their public appearances. The duo often steps out together to watch cricket and football matches. After a recent match, they were also spotted enjoying a meal at the Madras Cafe in Mumbai with their camaraderie on full display.
