Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan has penned a deeply heartfelt tribute to his son Abhishek Bachchan in a new blog post, moving fans and readers alike with his sincere words. Reflecting on his son’s journey as an artist, the megastar expressed profound admiration for Abhishek’s persistence, artistic integrity, and evolution—stating that he has not just inherited a legacy, but earned it through merit and determination.
Quoting his father, the celebrated poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Amitabh recalled the powerful line: “My sons, just because you are my sons, shall not be my inheritors; they that shall be my inheritors, shall be my sons.” He explained that Abhishek has come to embody this very idea—not because of lineage, but because of the courage and resilience he has consistently shown throughout his career.
Amitabh praised Abhishek’s dedication to taking on challenging, unconventional roles and doing so with authenticity and commitment. He reminisced about an inspiring quote from his childhood autograph book written by the legendary Ramdhari Singh Dinkar: “Success comes to those who dare and act.” According to Big B, Abhishek has lived by this principle—never choosing the easy path, but always daring to explore depth and nuance in his performances.
“He has dared to take on films and characters that tested his limits,” Amitabh wrote with evident pride. “He dared to act, and in doing so, he made himself visible, memorable. He acted, and was recognised. He earned that recognition.”
The note concluded with an emotionally resonant declaration: “My admiration to my inheritor, my son.”
In a separate blog update shared on Saturday, Amitabh also extended his best wishes and blessings for Abhishek’s upcoming film Kaalidhar Laapata, the trailer for which dropped on June 21. “My prayers, Abhishek,” he wrote. “Your ability to choose diverse roles and immerse yourself in them is rare. Love and blessings.”
Abhishek Bachchan’s new film, Kaalidhar Laapata, is set to premiere on ZEE5 on July 4. The film, described as a psychological thriller with a gritty narrative, marks yet another bold choice in his diverse filmography.
The senior Bachchan’s words have resonated widely, with fans and fellow artists lauding the heartfelt tribute. For many, the post exemplifies not only the bond between a father and son, but also the mutual respect shared between two accomplished artists from different generations.
