Abhishek Bachchan has a way of keeping his parents in the highest regard when he’s speaking about them. The actor never fails to make you realise that he has a solid legacy of humility and family values that he has to take forward. While speaking to india.com exclusively, he once again showed he’s the biggest supporter of his parents. AB Junior was talking about his latest release ‘Ghoomer‘ when he took a moment to appreciate his mother, Jaya Bachchan‘s performance in her recently released film ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani‘.
When asked what he thought about his mother’s performance in the film, he simply said he cannot judge her work. The actor, who is known for his fabulous work in the movies like Guru, Yuva, Raavan and Dasvi, said he can still review the work of his father, megastar Amitabh Bachchan and his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, but for him, his mom is sacred.
The ‘Ghoomer’ actor said, “I saw the film with her. For me, as her son, like with my father and wife, I am able to view their work as an actor. I cannot do that with my mother. The bond is just different and I always look upon her as my mother so, it’s very difficult for me to look upon her as anything but my mother. So yeah it becomes very difficult for me to judge her work (sic).”
After the movie’s Box Office success, the makers organised a press conference where all the other actors were present including Dharmendra. However, Jaya wasn’t part of any success meets. She was also not available to receive any feedback or react to any appreciatory comment or post about her. When we asked Abhishek Bachchan about her mother’s absence from the scene after the release of ‘Rocky And Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,’ he said it’s the ‘makers’ call’.
He explained, “When the film was releasing, she was busy in the parliament. Her duties towards the nation, I think, took precedence over the promotion of the film. And at that time I think that’s a call that Karan and the producers will take of who has to be called where. I do know that when the film was released, she was in the parliament at the session and that I think is of more importance to her, obviously serving the nation than that (sic).”
The actor, however, didn’t forget to thank the fans on his mother’s behalf. He looked into the camera and said, “On behalf of her, I would like to thank anybody who saw the film. Bohot bohot dhanyawad aap sabka. I hope she does more work.”
‘Ghoomer’ is a story of a cricket player who loses her hand in a car accident and aspires to rejoin the Indian cricket team. Saiyami Kher portrays the cricket player, while Abhishek Bachchan assumes the part of her coach. ‘Ghoomer’ also stars Shabana Azmi and Angad Bedi in significant roles. The movie has been directed by R Balki and is currently running in theatres.
