Suspense crime, Digital Desk : Bollywood icon Abhishek Bachchan recently peeled back the curtain on a pivotal moment from his early career, revealing how his legendary father, Amitabh Bachchan, delivered a stern, unforgettable lesson on the very first day of shooting for Ram Gopal Varma’s 2005 crime thriller, Sarkar. The anecdote, shared by the actor, highlights the tough love and uncompromising professionalism that defines the Bachchan family’s approach to their craft.
The incident occurred during the filming of a crucial scene where Abhishek's character, Shankar, confronts his father's character, Subhash Nagre. Despite being well-rehearsed, Abhishek found himself struggling to deliver a specific dialogue with the required intensity and conviction. "The dialogue was 'Jo kaam main kar raha hoon, woh main hi karunga,' and I just couldn't get it right," Abhishek recalled. He admitted to being incredibly nervous, grappling with the weight of the scene and the presence of his iconic father.
While director Ram Gopal Varma remained patiently silent, it was Amitabh Bachchan who stepped in. The 'Shahenshah' of Bollywood, observing his son's struggle, famously interjected with a sharp, direct question: "Don't you know how to speak? Don't you know how to deliver a dialogue?" The stern words, delivered by the towering figure of his father, cut through Abhishek's nervousness. Amitabh then proceeded to demonstrate how the line should be delivered, providing a masterclass in a few impactful seconds.
Abhishek Bachchan credits this moment as a turning point in his acting journey. He candidly shared that while the scolding was intense, it instilled a vital lesson in him about preparation, presence, and conviction. It wasn't just a critique; it was a profound mentorship from a living legend, pushing him to elevate his performance.
This candid revelation offers a rare glimpse into the dynamics of one of Bollywood's most revered families, showcasing that even the biggest stars are subject to rigorous standards, especially when learning from the best. It underscores the profound impact a mentor, particularly a parent, can have on an artist's development, even through the toughest of lessons.
