Taylor Swift concert organiser apologises after Rio fan death

Actor Abhishek Bachchan has found his niche of late, but he had a torrid time early in his career. Son of superstar Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek was plagued by comparisons with his dad and a spate of flops in the first few years of his career. It got to a point where Abhishek decided to quit films, only to be pulled back by Big B himself.

In a conversation with Nayandeep Rakshit for his YouTube channel, Abhishek revealed that at the beginning of his career, he felt he wasn't 'able to achieve whatever I wanted to achieve and match the standards that I had set for myself'. Perturbed by all this, he decided to quit films.

“I remember going to my father one night and saying that I have made a mistake and no matter what I am trying, it is not working. Maybe, this is the way of the world telling me that this is not for you. He was amazing. He said, ‘I am telling you as an actor and not your father, you have a long way to go, you are nowhere near the finished product but you are improving with every film. Just keep working and you will get there’. And, as I was walking out of the room, he said that I did not bring you up to be a quiter, so keep fighting. That meant a lot,” he added.
