New Delhi: While ‘I Want To Talk’, Abhishek Bachchan’s most recent film, failed to break records at the box office, the actor’s stunning performance in the film earned him critical acclaim. In response to the film’s touching depiction of a father-daughter bond, Abhishek has spoken about his own roles as a parent and spouse.
Abhishek recently thanked his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, for her tremendous help in raising their daughter, Aaradhya. Speaking to The Hindu, he said, “In my household, I’m lucky I get to go out and make movies but I know that Aishwarya is at home with Aaradhya and I thank her immensely for that but I don’t think the kids look at it that way. They don’t look at you as a third person, they look at you as the first person.”
Abhishek also talked about the underappreciated aspect of dads’ roles, highlighting the way they often show their affection in a quiet way. “A father does it all but quietly because he doesn’t know how to express or demonstrate it. It’s a flaw that men have,” he said.
The 48-year-old actor, who tied the knot with Aishwarya in 2007, reflects on his approach to parenting and the sacrifices parents make for their children. He said, “You climb mountains on one leg if you have to for your child.”

Reflecting on his childhood, Abhishek remembered how his father, Amitabh, always managed to fit in precious family time, no matter how busy he was. Abhishek said, “Growing up there would be weeks, I wouldn’t see my father and he slept in the room right next to me. The door of me and my sister’s room and the master bedroom would always be open. He would always come after we had gone to bed and would leave before we woke up the next morning. Despite his busy schedule, I don’t remember a single annual day at my school or the basketball finals that he missed. At the end of the day, he is always there for us.”
