Amitabh Bachchan calls son, Abhishek ‘the best’
On July 6 (Saturday), Amitabh Bachchan took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a few words for his son, Abhishek Bachchan. Reacting to a post shared by Abhishek’s fan club, Big called him “the best” and he added that he isn’t saying this as his father but genuinely liked his performance in Bol Bachchan as the audience.
“You are the best Abhishek…and this is not just a father speaking…pyaar aur aashirwaad sadaa (love and blessings, always),” the 81-year-old actor tweeted.
