Abhishek, whose parents Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan are Bollywood veterans, thanked the people "who had faith in him" and wrote: "#RoadTo20 is an attempt to take you through these 20 years of my life as an actor. Maybe relive some of the memories and experiences. It is a celebration of all the people that have made all this possible. The countless people who had faith and belief in a tall, slightly awkward, foreign returned 22-year-old boy, who had a lifelong dream... One that he has spent the last 20 years living."
Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar, in the comments section wrote: "May this decade see us collaborate," while Abhishek's sister Shweta Bachchan Nanda commented: "Many more to come...Onwards and upwards."
