# A Father's Pride: Amitabh Bachchan Wonders If He Deserves Son Abhishek's Glory
In the glittering world of Bollywood, where legacies are forged in silver and stardom often breeds rivalry, Amitabh Bachchan's latest heartfelt tribute to son Abhishek stands out as a rare gem of genuine admiration and humility.[3] The legendary actor, often called the Big B, publicly questions his own worthiness amid Abhishek's rising triumphs, declaring him a source of **pride and respect** while asking, "What have I done to deserve this?"[1][3] This emotional moment echoes a deep father-son bond that's captivated fans for years. Amitabh has long praised Abhishek not just as family, but as his **best friend** and **true inheritor**—a title earned through bold career choices, not birthright.[1][3] Drawing from his own father, poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan's wisdom—"My sons, just because you are my sons, shall not be my inheritors; they who shall be my inheritors, shall be my sons"—Amitabh celebrates Abhishek's daring roles in films like *Guru*, *Dasvi*, *Bob Biswas*, and the upcoming *Kaalidhar Laapata*, where he portrays a man lost in memory and betrayal.[2][3] "He has dared to take on films and characters that challenged him, and he 'acted'... He dared to act and be recognized," Amitabh wrote with evident pride.[3] Abhishek, in turn, idolizes his father as Bollywood's greatest, vowing never to remake his iconic films because "nobody can do it better than Amitabh Bachchan."[4] This mutual respect shines through their collaborations, like *Sarkar*, and real-life anecdotes—Amitabh once joked their friendship began when Abhishek started borrowing his shoes and clothes.[1] Even as Abhishek carves his path in projects like *King* alongside Shah Rukh Khan, their equation defies the pressures of nepotism, proving legacy is about merit.[4][5] What makes this duo special? In an industry rife with comparisons, Amitabh and Abhishek embody Indian family values, with the senior Bachchan affirming, "Abhishek will be with me till my last breath."[1] Fans are buzzing over this **emotional tribute**, calling it one of Bollywood's most touching father-son moments.[2] What do you think—does Abhishek live up to the Bachchan legacy?
