    Abhishek Bachchan recently hit headlines after the rumors of his and Aishwarya Rai's separation started doing the rounds. But the power couple shut down divorce rumors after making a joint appearance at an event recently. Amid the ongoing rumors about the couple, Abhishek recently reacted to being compared to Aishwarya, and his father Amitabh Bachchan. He has often faced comparisons with them. In a recent interview, he reflected on being compared to his family.

    Does Abhishek Bachchan get affected by his family's success?

    While speaking to CNBC-TV18, Abhishek Bachchan, who has time and again impressed the audience with his performances, said that he has become immune to the question that has been asked to him for 25 years. When asked if being attached to his family’s success affects him, he said, "If you are comparing me to my father, you are comparing me to the best. If you are comparing me to the best, somewhere I believe that maybe I am worthy of being considered among these great names. I look at it like that. My parents are my parents, my family is my family, my wife is my wife, and I am immensely proud of them and their achievements and what they continue to do."

    During the same conversation, Abhishek went on to praise his father's dedication at the age of 82. The megastar has been actively working in films and is currently busy doing his game show, KBC 16. He said that one day he wants his daughter Aaradhya to proudly say, 'Hey, my dad’s 82 and he’s still at it.' Abhishek added, "I mean, we are sitting here in a wonderful AC room in Mumbai, doing this interview, having a nice cup of coffee, and that 82-year-old is shooting for KBC from 7 in the morning. He’s leading by example. I want to be like that. When I go to bed at night, all I think is that when I am 82, I want my daughter to be able to say that about me, that, ‘Hey, my dad’s 82 and he’s still at it.’"
