Amitabh Bachchan was recently seen talking about his financial crisis on Kaun Banega Crorepati 13 during the 1000th episode. Big B had revealed that he took up KCB when he was at a very low financial phase although people told him to stray clear from TV being a Bollywood actor. But he needed the financial support so he went ahead. In a recent interview, Abhishek Bachchan recently revealed that his father Amitabh Bachchan was so broke that he would borrow money from the staff to put food on the table.
Abhishek had revealed that he was studying acting in Boston when he dropped out of the course to be with his family in the tough times. Abhishek said on the podcast Ranveer show, “My family was going through a difficult financial time. And I just felt that as a son, although I might not have been qualified at that point of time, that I needed to be with my father. Even for moral support. He’s a big guy on moral support. He likes to know his family’s around.”
The Bob Biswas actor added, “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. 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 halfway 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.”
