When Abhishek Bachchan was left humbled by a family member
Mumbai, June 13
During his appearance on "The Kapil Sharma" show, actor Abhishek Bachchan revealed the time he was left humbled by one of his family members.
Abhishek shared that following the success of "Dhoom", he was getting the feeling that he had finally arrived.
He was heard sharing the incident in his own words, "The producer of the movie, Aditya Chopra, had kept a success party. After partying all night, I was returning home in the morning."
He decided to walk the distance with the feeling, "Now I have also finally given a hit film. I have also become a star".
Abhishek revealed that the cars were finally stopping and people were recognizing him, "Oh! Abhishek Bachchan".
He added that by the time he reached home, he was convinced, "The number one superstar of India has arrived".
However, as soon as he entered the home, he saw something that left him absolutely humbled.
"It was almost 6 in the morning, and dad (Amitabh Bachchan) opened the door. He was wearing his night gown, wearing specs, with a newspaper in his hand."
Abhishek shared that as soon as he saw his father, a realization suddenly sank in "Oh, he is the Amitabh Bachchan," changing his perspective completely.
On the professional front, Abhishek will be seen sharing screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in the eagerly-awaited drama "King", helmed by Siddharth Anand.
In January this year, the makers revealed that "King" will "roar" in the cinema halls on December 24, 2026.
Backed by Gauri Khan, Siddharth Anand, and Mamta Anand under the banners of Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, the film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi, and Rani Mukerji as the core cast.
The project marks the first time SRK will be sharing screen space with his daughter, Suhana Khan.

Why is this even news? Abhishek Bachchan has given flops for years and still gets movies because of his surname. He should be humbled by his career, not just his father's presence. 🙄
This is beautiful. In India, our parents are our first teachers. Abhishek's realization that 'Oh, he is the Amitabh Bachchan' shows the deep respect he has for his father. Such moments define a person's character more than any success. 💯
I personally think this story is overhyped. Every Indian parent has a similar moment of humility. My father also wakes up at 5 AM, reads the newspaper, and has taught me life lessons. Why make a celebrity's everyday realization a big deal? Just saying.
True story! After Dhoom's success, many thought Abhishek had arrived. But Amitabh Bachchan is legendary - he's been the 'Shehenshah' for decades. This story shows the respect in our Indian families. Looking forward to seeing Abhishek in 'King' with SRK! 🎬
As someone from the US, I find this very wholesome. The humility in Indian culture is something we often overlook in the West. It's refreshing to see a star actor have such grounded family values. Great read!
