Amitabh Bachchan recently expressed his thoughts on the challenges faced by his son, Abhishek Bachchan, in the film industry. Despite delivering several noteworthy performances over the years, Abhishek has often been subjected to nepotism debates and unwarranted criticism. His journey in Bollywood has been marked by comparisons to his legendary parents, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, which has sometimes overshadowed his individual achievements.
Addressing this issue, Amitabh agreed with a social media post that highlighted how Abhishek has been unfairly targeted. He acknowledged that his son has faced undue negativity and emphasized that his views were not just as a father but also as an observer of Abhishek’s career. This public support sheds light on the struggles that star children face, where being born into a film family often comes with both opportunities and heightened scrutiny.
Abhishek’s career spans over two decades, featuring acclaimed performances in films like Guru, Yuva, Bunty Aur Babli, and Dasvi. While he has carved his own niche, the nepotism debate has frequently put him under the scanner. Many argue that talent should be the defining factor for an artist’s success rather than lineage, yet industry biases and audience perceptions often make it difficult for actors from film families to prove their worth independently.
