During a recent conversation, Abhishek Bachchan called his parents, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, equivalent to God. He also talked about the legacy he wants to leave behind for Aaradhya.
Abhishek Bachchan comes from a celebrated and respected lineage. Recently, the actor talked about leaving a legacy beyond creativity for his daughter, Aaradhya, and his family. He also expressed his deepest regard for his parents, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan.
During a recent conversation with CNBC-TV 18, Abhishek Bachchan was asked if he is religious. In response to this, the actor admitted not being sure if he is "overtly religious." He stated that he has his equation with God, and before going to him, he goes to his parents.
“I think they should be the first people you lean on. To me, they are equivalent to God. I am what I am because of my family. I’m a very family-oriented person. Everything I do, I do for my family, and they are my go-to people,” he said, further emphasizing that his equation with God is very personal, and he finds his moments with him.
Upon being asked if he seeks his parent’s support during tough times, the actor mentioned that his family’s opinion matters to him. He stated that it is great as long as one is going back to a loving, supportive, healthy, and happy family.
The Housefull 5 actor also acknowledged and expressed his gratitude towards his grandfather and legendary poet, Harivansh Rai Bachchan. He noted that it was because of him that their surname was established and continues to hold a special place in the hearts of millions.
Abhishek remains determined to work to ensure the continuity of love and respect that they receive because of his grandfather. He also hoped for his daughter, Aaradhya, and the coming generations to respect that too.
In addition to this, he also talked about the creative legacy that runs in their family, with his grandfather being a poet and him, his parents, and his wife being actors. However, he believes in leaving something "tangible" that he feels would be a "valuable contribution" to their family.
“I think I should work towards leaving something tangible for my daughter, apart from creativity. That’s why I look at the work I do beyond acting as an endeavor to achieve that, whether it’s through sports or other businesses that I get involved in," he explained.
