Taslima tweeted, “Amitabh Bachchan ji loves his son Abhishek Bachchan so much that he thinks his son inherited all his talents and his son is the best. Abhishek is good, but I do not think Abhishek is as talented as Amitji.”
Reacting to the tweet, Abhishek replied, “Absolutely correct, Ma’am. Nobody comes close to him in talent or anything else for that matter. He will always remain ‘the best’ ! I am an extremely proud son. (folded hands emoji).” Actor Suniel Shetty posted a red heart emoji, reacting to Abhishek’s tweet.
Twitter users also responded to the post. A person said, “That is probably why he isn’t rated that much and that’s sad. He is better than most of them but just always gets compared to his father.” “Ma’am, Amitabh Bachchan is a legend! Comes once in a lifetime! Like Sachin Tendulkar, Dilip Saab, Magic Johnson, Marlon Brando, etc. Show me one son who can immediately be better than the father. The father is saying in his own words. You are you! And you are good,” said another Twitter user.
Recently, Abhishek received the Best Actor, Web Original Film-Male award for his performance in the drama film Dasvi at the Filmfare OTT Awards 2022.
