You may be thinking that Small B is no comparison to Big B. But the small B is also in news these days. No not about his movies, this is about his public appearances. Well, you will be surprised to know that Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan is a Guinness World Record holder. Don’t rub your eyes, you read that right. The 40-year-old star reportedly left behind Hollywood sensation Will Smith to get his name in the prestigious book.
According to a media report, Junior B holds the record for ‘Most Public Appearances Made By A Film Star In 12 Hours’. This pretty much proves his dedication towards the work.
It is being said that the ‘Refugee’ heartthrob was a part of various promotional activities across seven cities in just one day. The development took place when he was promoting ‘Delhi-6’..
It doesn’t matter if you have star parents – if you deliver a flop, filmmakers stop taking your calls, says Abhishek Bachchan, son of Indian cinematic icon Amitabh Bachchan.
Abhishek’s career graph since his debut with Refugee in 2000 shows high and low points. If his performances in films like Guru, Dhoom, Bunty Aur Babli, Dostana and Bol Bachchan have been applauded, he has also earned his share of criticism for some of his career choices.
“I’ve completed 16 years in the industry and it has been a mix of highs and lows. There has been tremendous learning and I’m still hungry to do a lot more. It’s been a great journey and it makes me happy and proud that I’m a part of this industry,” Abhishek told IANS in an email interview arranged by Omega, the official timekeeper of Olympics. Abhishek is the brand ambassador for Omega.
“The low phase that I went through, I think, was necessary. It teaches you a lot. I believe there is no success without failure. It keeps you grounded and makes you appreciate things,” Abhishek said when asked about his time in the industry.
He admits a flop film doesn’t leave one feeling good.
“If we give a flop film, people stop taking our calls; then it does not matter whose kid you are. It’s true that a flop is the worst feeling in the world and destroys you as a human being,” added the 40-year-old actor.
An ardent believer in the power of staying positive, Abhishek said: “If you want good things to happen in your life, you first have to believe good things are possible for yourself”.
“Every actor is very emotional and so am I. I feel it’s important to learn to see the brighter side of life, and possess a sense of humour for that. My sense of humour has saved me many times when I have felt low,” Abhishek said.
