During the interaction, Abhishek recalled the incident and began, 'The first time we shot together was for Sarkar. Ramu [Ram Gopal Varma] said that we'll do some test shoots, and then I could go away and shoot Bunty Aur Babli. This was September 2004. First day, I was panicking and sweating. He says to me, 'Shankar', and all I had to do was turn around and say, 'Ji?' I was petrified, I was literally shaking. He has that effect.' 'Isiliye maine itne saal mehnat…' He went on to add that the shoot got over and he waited in his vanity van for a while to leave after his dad left the set. But that did not happen as Amitabh knocked on his vanity van and suggested they both go home together. Abhishek then described how that ride panned out. "The entire ride back was spent in pin-drop silence. He is just looking straight. When they pulled into their bungalow's driveway, the staff got out, leaving the two of them alone in the car. He's just sitting there, and then, in 48 frames, he turned to me. 'Isiliye maine itne saal mehnat karke tumhe padhaya likhaya? Dialogue bolna aata nahi hai tumhe (Is this why I worked so hard and spent so much on your education? You can't even say a line properly).' I felt like I had murdered someone, the way he looked at me. He just destroyed me,' he said. Abhishek recently completed 25 years in films. He made his acting debut with JP Dutta's Refugee. He will be next seen in Kaalidhar Laapata, which will premiere on Zee5 on July 4.

While many actors immerse themselves in isolation to get into character, Abhishek calls himself an exception. 'I have never felt lost or the need to get away from everything. I am a people person," he shared. 'I have my moments when I need my solitude. It is very important and essential for an actor. But not for a longer time. I need someone to talk to." The Guru actor lives in a star-studded joint family that includes his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, father Amitabh Bachchan, mother Jaya Bachchan, and daughter Aaradhya Bachchan.

We all like to hang out together, and then suddenly everyone just goes back to their own personal spaces."
