Bollywood’s megastar, Amitabh Bachchan, is all praise for his son, Abhishek Bachchan, as he continues to shine with his stellar acting in his recent works. The veteran actor is quite popular for his online blog posts, but it’s his recent post that grabbed attention. Big B recently penned an emotional and deeply moving open letter to Abhishek Bachchan, where he acknowledged the Be Happy actor’s impressive journey in cinema, hailing him as his ‘true inheritor’. Ahead of Abhishek’s upcoming release, the megastar’s post comes as a refreshing dose of happiness for fans and admirers alike.
Amitabh Bachchan praises Abhishek Bachchan as his true inheritor
On June 21, 2025, Amitabh Bachchan ended his day with a heartfelt blog post. In his post, Big B quoted his legendary father and poet, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, to underline that inheritance isn’t defined by blood alone but by merit, character, and courage. Emphasising that Abhishek has earned his title of being the inheritor through hard work and resilience, the megastar wrote:
“My sons, just because you are my sons shall not be my inheritors.. They that shall be my inheritors, shall be my sons.”
Amitabh Bachchan praises Abhishek’s daring career choice
In the last few years, Abhishek Bachchan has garnered significant praise for taking up unconventional roles rather than playing the traditional hero. His proud father, Amitabh, in his latest post, lauded Abhisek’s willingness to tread on the road less travelled. Alluding to his latest venture in the upcoming film, the megastar wrote:
“Each role he has accepted and played has been with immense dedication. He has ever delivered the character to perfection. His choice of films and roles has guided him to give him opportunity to try something different. I remember the words written in my Autograph book as a youngster, by the great Hindi poet laureate, Shri Ram Dhari Singh ‘Dinkar’, when he would often visit our home in Allahabad, now Prayagraj.”
Amitabh recalled an inspiring quote by celebrated Hindi poet, Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, that he had once penned in Amitabh’s childhood autograph book. Big B remarked that Abhishek has embodied this philosophy throughout his acting career. His post read:
“‘Success comes to those who dare and act.’ ‘Act’ not in reference to acting on stage or film, but in life to be dare and to act. Abhishek has ever done that .. he has dared to take on films and characters that challenged him .. and he ‘acted’ .. he dared to act and be recognised.”
Amitabh proudly expressed his admiration for Abhishek being his true inheritor, as he signed off his blog, writing, “My admiration to my inheritor, my Son.”
Abhishek Bachchan to return with new film
Amitabh Bachchan’s heartfelt note comes only days after the trailer launch of Abhishek’s upcoming film, Kaalidhar Laapata.

The story unfolds as he develops an unexpected bond with a child after deciding to disappear during the Maha Kumbh Mela. The trailer has already garnered significant attention, with fans lauding Abhishek for his ability to take on versatile roles across different genres.
Other than his blog post, the senior Bachchan took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle, expressing his blessings and prayers for Abhishek’s upcoming film. He penned a heartfelt note that read:
“My prayers, Abhishek… your ability to choose different roles and films and to immerse yourself in them… and succeed… a very rare quality… love and blessings.”
