Amitabh Bachchan praises Abhishek for his fearless choices and acting prowess, calling him his “inheritor by merit” in a heartfelt blog post.
June 22, 2025: Legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan has poured his heart out in an emotional blog post dedicated to his son Abhishek Bachchan, calling him his “true inheritor” not by virtue of lineage, but by sheer merit and hard-earned respect.
Sharing a deeply personal reflection on Saturday, the megastar quoted his father, poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan:
“My sons, just because you are my sons, shall not be my inheritors; they who shall be my inheritors, shall be my sons.”
Amitabh went on to write how Abhishek has lived up to that ideal, choosing complex and often unconventional roles that reflect both courage and depth.
“He has dared to take on films and characters that challenged him, and he acted,” Bachchan wrote. “He dared to act and be recognized.”

The tribute comes just a day after the trailer launch of Abhishek Bachchan’s upcoming film Kaalidhar Laapata, directed by Madhumita. On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Amitabh wrote:
“My prayers, Abhishek… your ability to choose different roles and films and to immerse yourself in them… and succeed… a very rare quality… love and blessings.”
🧠 About the Film
Kaalidhar Laapata sees Abhishek Bachchan in the role of Kaalidhar, a man battling memory loss and personal abandonment. When he learns his siblings plan to desert him at the bustling Maha Kumbh Mela, he chooses to vanish of his own accord. His life takes a turn after an unexpected encounter with Ballu, a street-smart 8-year-old survivor played by Daivik Bhagela. What begins as a chance meeting soon transforms into a profound bond that redefines both their journeys.
Amitabh Bachchan’s post resonates as both a father’s tribute and an artist’s acknowledgment. In an industry often driven by legacy, his recognition of Abhishek’s earned place marks a powerful moment of generational pride and artistic validation.
