But I was like, whatever I write will sound fake..." recalled the 'Bunty Aur Babli' said that his father never raised his voice or hit him. The actor said that whenever he was disappointed, he would utter his name in a disapproving tone, and that had him dissolve into a mess. 'My father has never raised his voice or hand at me, ever.

But what he does now, I thank him for it, and I hope I can continue making him proud," he terms of upcoming projects, Abhishek Bachchan is all set to lead a heartfelt, character-driven film titled Kaalidhar Laapata.
