Abhishek added, “And mother actually always laid emphasis on something I said earlier in one of our press junkets. She said, ‘Whatever you do in life, be it education, be it your profession, concentrate on being a good human being, first. If you’re a good human being, nothing else matters. She’s not one of those. She’s not your conformist. She’s very very different.”

Talking about superstar Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek said, “My father was, whenever he got the time to sit with us, he was very particular about your handwriting, your spelling. I remember, I used to write letters to my father, when I was in boarding school. And then next week, his reply would come with a corrected version of my letter, with red markings. And he used to write there ‘Corrections karke wapis bhejo mujhe’. So, he was like that.”

The Dasvi actor further added, “My father was never strict. My father was always my best friend. He was very conscientious about us, my mother was more relaxed in that sense. But there wasn’t much pressure. I think my parents were more interested in saying ‘Don’t waste the opportunity of education, avail of it, make the most out of it, and give it your best.”
