Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan recently shared a heartfelt message for his son, Abhishek Bachchan, celebrating his 25 years in the film industry and praising his resilience and unique approach to his career.
Amitabh’s Advice: Fight Till the Very End
In a recent Tumblr post, Amitabh Bachchan emphasized a profound life lesson for his son: “NEVER GIVE UP.” He advised Abhishek to “fight till the very end,” highlighting that the outcome, whether a win or a loss, is secondary to the effort. According to Big B, a “pluckiest loser” who fought hard earns more respect and a greater sense of success than a “so called winner” who didn’t face challenges with similar determination.
This powerful philosophy, he noted, holds more value than mere commercial success. He underscored that 25 years in the industry is a significant achievement, proving his point about perseverance.
The Strength of Self-Comparison
Amitabh Bachchan specifically lauded Abhishek for a rare quality: comparing himself only to himself. He expressed his admiration for this trait, noting that not many people possess such self-awareness and focus. Big B continually learns from his son’s journey, stating, “Each day I learn more and more and more.”
He firmly believes that “sitting back is a defeat of life,” equating it to giving up. For Amitabh, the essence of life lies in continuous effort and growth, reiterating the powerful message that one should “NEVER GIVE UP.”
Abhishek’s Journey in Bollywood
Abhishek Bachchan began his cinematic journey in 2000 with JP Dutta’s film “Refugee,” alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan. His path wasn’t without its challenges. Initially, many filmmakers were hesitant to launch him, wary of the immense responsibility that came with introducing superstar Amitabh Bachchan’s son.
Abhishek later understood their apprehension, recognizing the profound love and respect his father commands in the industry. He acknowledged the burden of expectation that came with his lineage, making his journey uniquely demanding.
A Diverse and Evolving Career
Over two and a half decades, Abhishek Bachchan has carved out a diverse career with memorable roles. He has been a part of popular films like “Yuva,” “Dhoom,” “Bunty Aur Babli,” and “Bluffmaster.” His performance in Mani Ratnam’s 2007 drama “Guru” is often cited as a career-defining moment.
More recently, Abhishek has explored different characters, including father figures in films like “Ghoomer.” Fans can look forward to seeing him in upcoming projects such as “Housefull 5” and Shah Rukh Khan’s “King,” showcasing his continued evolution as an actor.
- Always fight till the very end, regardless of winning or losing.
- True success comes from the fight, not just commercial gains.
- Comparing yourself only to yourself is a powerful and admirable trait.
- Never give up on your dreams or efforts.
Amitabh Bachchan’s words not only celebrate his son’s quarter-century in Bollywood but also serve as a timeless inspiration for perseverance in the face of challenges.
