When Abhishek Bachchan quit college to help Amitabh Bachchan clear Rs 90 crore debt: ‘He had to borrow money from staff..."

Amitabh Bachchan 's life has always been the stuff of Bollywood legends. From being dubbed a 'failed newcomer' to becoming the 'Shahenshah' of Hindi cinema, his story is one of remarkable highs and crushing lows. But perhaps the most testing time of his life came not in front of the camera, but at home, when his company went bankrupt, plunging him into debts of nearly Rs 90 crore. It was such a dark phase that even his son, Abhishek Bachchan , chose to quit college to be by his side. The early days: A superstar born from failures Big B's career did not start off on a rosy note. His initial films failed to impress either the audience or critics. It wasn't until 1973 that he tasted real success, with 'Zanjeer' catapulting him into stardom. From there, he ruled the box office for decades, giving Indian cinema some of its most iconic characters and films. The ABCL gamble that went horribly wrong However, success can sometimes breed overconfidence. In the mid-1990s, Amitabh decided to try his hand at the business side of cinema by launching his company, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited (ABCL). Unfortunately, the venture turned into a nightmare. As per multiple reports, ABCL failed to deliver, and the company's financial troubles snowballed into a massive debt of around Rs 90 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo In an interview with India Today, Amitabh candidly spoke about this period, calling it 'undoubtedly one of the darkest periods of my 44-year-old career.' He shared, 'I can never forget how creditors used to land at our door, be abusive, threatening and demanding, and worse still, when they came for 'Kudkee' at Prateeksha, our residence.' Abhishek's decision to stand by his father While Amitabh struggled with the crisis, far away in Boston, his son Abhishek was pursuing his education at Boston University. But even across continents, the father's troubles deeply affected the son. Speaking on Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast, Abhishek had recalled, 'Well, truth be told, I left university — I was studying in Boston University. I had declared my major as liberal arts, and then I majored in performing arts. And I left my education because my father was going through this really rough time, financially. He had started this business called ABCL.' He added, 'I said I can't be here sitting in Boston when my father doesn't know how he's going to get dinner. And that's how bad it was. And he said it publicly. He had to borrow money from his staff to put food on the table.' 'At least he'll know his boy is next to him' What truly stands out is Abhishek's sense of moral responsibility at such a young age. He revealed, 'I just felt morally obliged to be with him. I called him and I said 'You know dad, I think I want to leave college half-way and come back and just be with you, try and help you in whatever way. At least you'll know that your boy is next to you and he's there for you'.' Abhishek then described how his father responded. Amitabh called him to his study late one night and laid bare the grim reality. He reportedly told Abhishek, 'movies aren't working out, the business isn't working out, nothing is working out.' But true to his resilient nature, Amitabh Bachchan decided to pull himself out of the mess rather than give up. In later interviews, Amitabh often credited his family especially Jaya Bachchan and Abhishek, for standing firmly by his side through this storm. Upcoming projects Today, the Bachchans are once again a symbol of success. Amitabh, even at 82, remains one of the most sought-after actors. He was last seen in 'Vettaiyan', which also marked his debut in Tamil cinema. Fans are now eagerly waiting for him in Nag Ashwin's ambitious 'Kalki 2898 AD' sequel. Additionally, he has Ribhu Dasgupta's 'Section 84' lined up. Meanwhile, Abhishek has carved out his own place in the industry. He was recently seen in the OTT film 'Kaalidhar Laapata' and is currently shooting for Shah Rukh Khan 's 'King'.

From ancient pearls to rare Quran: Zayed Museum to open in Abu Dhabi this December

The falcon-wing towers of Abu Dhabi's Zayed National Museum symbolize heritage and innovation/ Image: TL;DR Zayed National Museum will open in December 2025 on Saadiyat Island , Abu Dhabi . The museum honors the legacy of Sheikh Zayed and traces the UAE's deep-rooted history. Designed by Foster + Partners, it blends modern efficiency with traditional Emirati elements. Abu Dhabi is getting ready for a big moment. In December 2025, the long-awaited Zayed National Museum will open its doors on Saadiyat Island. This isn't just another museum, it's a core part of the city's broader plan to draw 39 million visitors a year by 2030. Alongside other cultural institutions like the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the upcoming Guggenheim, the Zayed National Museum helps position Saadiyat as a serious destination for global culture. But this museum also does something else. It looks inward. It reflects the story of the United Arab Emirates through the life of its founding president, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. With collections that go back thousands of years and architecture designed for the future, it aims to connect past, present, and future under one roof. What the Museum Is About The museum is named after Sheikh Zayed (1918–2004), the first president of the UAE and a figure who shaped the nation's identity. His story is central to the museum's concept. But it doesn't stop there. The galleries also trace the region's longer history, from early settlements to the formation of the modern state in 1971. The museum's director, Peter Magee, has said the space is meant to reflect Sheikh Zayed's values and the UAE's wider history. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You Can Make Massive Side Income By Learning Order Flow Analysis TradeWise Learn More Undo It's both a tribute and a mirror. It looks at leadership, heritage, and how the country evolved. The Architecture: Built for This Place The building stands out. Five large steel structures rise from a man-made mound, shaped to echo falcon wings, an important symbol in Emirati culture. These towers are not just decorative. They function as thermal chimneys, helping cool the space naturally in Abu Dhabi's heat. The design is by UK-based Foster + Partners. They've worked to combine traditional Arabic elements with sustainable building practices. Inside, the galleries are embedded within the landscape, blending into the topography of the Emirates. It's a mix of old and new, form and function in balance. What You'll See Inside The museum will have six permanent galleries across two levels. These will feature artefacts from the Paleolithic to the Iron Age, as well as more recent periods. Some highlights include: The Abu Dhabi Pearl : An 8,000-year-old natural pearl found on Marawah Island. The Blue Qur'an : A rare manuscript from around 800–900 AD. A full-size Magan Boat : A reconstructed ancient vessel placed at the museum's entrance. Al Masar Garden : A space focused on the relationship between humans and the natural environment of the UAE. Each object plays a role in telling the country's larger story, from its early trade networks to the spiritual and ecological roots of its people. FAQs Q1. Where is the Zayed National Museum located? It's on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi, in a district that also includes the Louvre and the future Guggenheim. Q2. When will it open to the public? The museum is scheduled to open in December 2025. Q3. What makes it different from other museums in the region? It focuses specifically on the UAE's national story and the life of Sheikh Zayed, combining historical artefacts with local values and sustainable design.
