The actor also replied to a somewhat unfair question asking him to choose between his wife and daughter. "I love both equally. You can't choose between your wife and your daughter. So I love both equally," he said.
Abhishek Bachchan also spoke about the challenges of being the son of an acting great and the inevitability of comparison. Amitabh Bachchan, now 74, is still one of Bollywood's busiest actors and one of the country's most admired and respected stars. "I think it is very important to have high standards... So I think it's not difficult, but a matter of great pride and huge inspiration for me," Abhishek said in reply to the Twitter question.
Abhishek Bachchan, who made his debut in 2000 with Refugee, told one fan that he's been waiting 16 years to be cast in a Tamil film. He also said that a sequel to his 2007 film Guru is unlikely and that he and Saif Ali Khan would make a 'very cool buddy' film if they were cast together.
We last spotted Abhishek - or rather, his back - supervising preparations for Aaradhya's birthday party in Mumbai last Sunday.
