There’s something different about Abhishek Bachchan that makes him stand out from his contemporaries. He has always been compared to his father Amitabh Bachchan which we feel is unfair as he has his space and he has given us praiseworthy performances in Yuva and Guru. It’s his honesty and humble nature that makes him a class apart and shows his perfect upbringing.

In one of the interviews with Ranveer Allahbadia, Abhishek revealed how he had to drop out of college because his father Amitabh Bachchan was going through a financial crisis. Big B was on the brink of bankruptcy in 1999 when his venture, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Ltd (ABCL), faced major losses. Amitabh had revealed that he owed Rs 90 crore to different people. Back then, Abhishek was studying in Boston and he chose to quit college in order to support Big B.  

Abhishek Bachchan bared it all out in The Ranveer Show podcast. He shared, “Well, truth be told, I left university -- I was studying at Boston University. I had declared my major as liberal arts, and then I majored in performing arts. And I left my education because my father was going through this really rough time, financially. He had started this business called ABCL.”

Here’s the full interview: 

He further added, “I don't think I was qualified to help him in any which way, but I just felt that as a son, I needed to be around my father and help in whatever way. So I left my college and came back. I started helping him in his company.” Abhishek stated that his father told Yash Chopra that his films or business aren’t working in his favour, "Look, I don't have a job, nobody is giving me work anymore, my movies aren't working, and I've come to ask you to please give me a film to work in,” said Junior Bachchan. That was when he was offered Mohabbatein. He also began hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati and the rest is history.

Recently, Brut shared a section of the video from the podcast and people started to troll Abhishek as they said at least he and his father had the privilege to talk to Chopra and others don’t have the luxury.

We feel it’s unfair to troll him this brutally as he has bared his heart out in this conversation.  

On the professional front, he recently entertained his fans with his act in Diya Annapurna Ghosh's directorial venture Bob Biswas. Abhishek is playing the titular role in the spin-off to the 2012 film Kahaani. His character is inspired by Saswata Chatterjee's character in Vidya Balan's cult thriller.
