We don’t generally expect celebrities to be introverts or have trouble speaking to people. Giving interviews, interacting with fans, meeting a thousand people on set, events and shoots are just a part of their job. 

This is even more common for star kids who have practically grown up in the limelight. 

However, one celebrity kid who grew up to be a star himself, still finds it difficult to place a food order, much like us. It’s Abhishek Bachchan. 

The Dasvi actor recently shared in an interview with Siddharth Kannan that he struggles with talking to strangers and can’t even call room service or walk into a hotel lobby without someone guiding him. 

He said, “I am very conscious. People laugh at me. We're sitting in a hotel today, doing our press tour, and if there isn't somebody to help me walk through the lobby, I won't come in. I am scared to enter a place alone. I need somebody around me, I would rather have somebody who can guide me. I'm very shy that way.” 

He shared how his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, comes to his rescue and orders for him because she knows he won’t eat all day otherwise. 

"I have certain quirks. If I am outdoor and my wife will call me in the evening asking 'how's your day' whatever, normal husband-wife chat. She says 'have you eaten,' I say 'no.' She says 'okay what do you want to eat' and I tell her and then she will...I can't call room service. Aishwarya has to call (room service), otherwise, she knows I won't eat. I have this issue. I have a problem speaking to a stranger on the phone,” he added.

Although surprising, it is definitely refreshing and relatable to see a famous personality having the same struggles as us. 

We always imagine celebrities to have it all, from confidence to smooth-talking skills, but stars like him make us believe that they are just like us.
