Initially uncomfortable with Big B’s praise, Ghoomer actor Abhishek says parenthood has made him realise his megastar-father’s desire to celebrate him

Amitabh Bachchan is an acting legend. But beneath the glitz of superstardom, he is also like any other parent, proud of his children’s achievements. Who understands this better than his actor-son Abhishek Bachchan? Since the trailer of Ghoomer dropped online last week, senior Bachchan’s Twitter timeline is filled with posts praising Abhishek’s work in the R Balki-directed sports drama. “I see him become comfortable with talking about me publicly. He says, ‘What the hell! I’m your father!’ I tell him [to go easy on the praise], saying, ‘Don’t do this, people will jump on!’ But then, I feel that even though he is a great icon, he is also a father. I’m almost 47, but I will always be his boy. I understand that today because I have a daughter [Aaradhya]. If she does something, I want to show off to the world,” smiles Abhishek.
