Abhishek Bachchan Had To Leave College In Boston Midway As Father Amitabh Bachchan Was In Financial Trouble

In a recent interview, Abhishek Bachchan disclosed that he left Boston halfway through his acting degree to help his father, Amitabh Bachchan, during the family's financial difficulty.

Actor Abhishek Bachchan, who studied acting in Boston, recalled in a recent podcast flying back to India during a financial crisis to morally support his family. Abhishek Bachchan expressed his desire to be with his father, Amitabh Bachchan, during this period.

Amitabh Bachchan had told his son over the phone when he was in Boston that once he returned, he should brush up on his Hindi. After returning to India, the actor made his Bollywood debut in 2000 with JP Dutta's film 'Refugee'.

Abhishek Bachchan opened up on 'The Ranveer Show' podcast about the period when he was attending university in Boston and his father had to worry about the financial crisis.

바카라I spoke to my father from college. My family was going through a difficult financial time. And I just felt as a son, although I might not have been qualified at that point of time, that I needed to be with my father. Even for moral support. He바카라s a big guy on moral support. He likes to know his family바카라s around.바카라 said junior Bachchan.  바카라I said I can바카라t be here sitting in Boston when my father doesn바카라t know how he바카라s going to get dinner. And that바카라s how bad it was. And he said it publicly. He had to borrow money from his staff to put food on the table. I just felt morally obliged to be with him. I called him and I said 바카라You know dad, I think I want to leave college halfway and come back and just be with you, try and help you in whatever way. At least you바카라ll know that your boy is next to you and he바카라s there for you바카라,바카라 he added.

Revealing Amitabh Bachchan's response, the 'Bob Biswas' actor said: 바카라So he was very emotional, he was very touched, he was very moved but he ended the rest of the conversation, which obviously I won바카라t dive up, but he said: 바카라I바카라m glad.바카라 Because I mean we바카라d already discussed that I would like to be an actor. He said, 바카라I바카라m glad, come back. Bhasha sikho (learn the language). Because Shakespeare doesn바카라t work over here. And I realise that today, that I was very out of context.바카라

In a recent episode of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 13', Big B said that he decided to start hosting the quiz show two decades ago as he was out of work: 바카라My circumstances were such that I wasn바카라t getting any work in films at that time, but after the show premiered, the kind of reactions I received made me believe that the world changed for me,바카라 he had said on the 1,000th episode of the show.
