For the unversed, Jr Bachchan had once said that he wishes to make everyone happy. When the actor was quizzed whether he still holds that ambition, he said, 'Yes. Time teaches you that sometimes you can be foolish. Don't be so idealistic. But I don't ever want to let go of that.'
Last seen in I Want To Talk, Abhishek underlines that the day he stopped wishing for it, that will be the death of the actor inside him. 'The day I say yaa I can't make everyone happy, this is me take it or leave it, for film actors it's very arrogant and it will be the death of you. There will be no more desire to improve. I understand that it's a lot more challenging than you say,' he concluded.
