Abhishek Fondly Recalls Shooting Raavan With Aishwarya; Reveals Why Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey Is Special

The exceptionally talented and extremely versatile Abhishek Bachchan began his journey in the magical land of cinema with Refugee in 2000. He went on to win hearts and wow the audience over the years with his spectacular performances in films such as Dostana, Bluffmaster, Umrao Jaan, Guru, Dhoom and Paa among many others. The actor is completing 20 years in the Hindi film industry on 30^th June and to celebrate the milestone, he decided to share special posts every day, revisiting some of his most beautiful memories in Bollywood.

Today the actor remembered two of his films which released in the year 2010. The first is Raavan, opposite his gorgeous wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Abhishek called it the most challenging film, both physically and emotionally, for him in his entire career. Recalling the experience of working with Aish, the actor shared, “My 8th film with the missus. She was an absolute trooper during the making of the film. The dedication, and sheer strength it took for her to perform the complexities of her role is just awe inspiring. And she did it all with her trademark smile. To think that she had to perform each scene ( regardless of how emotionally and physically challenging ) baffles me.”

Abhishek’s second film which released in 2010 was Ashutosh Gowariker’s Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey, alongside Deepika Padukone and his childhood friend Sikander Kher. Talking about why the film is close to his heart, the actor wrote, “When Ashu told me the story of Surya Sen and what he managed with 60 of his students, I felt compelled as a patriotic Indian to be a part of the telling of their immense courage and sacrifice. I’m so proud that we could bring their story to life and tell it to a new generation who might not have known about it. Wonderful vivid memories of the making of this film.”

We are eagerly waiting for Abhishek’s next post. In the last 20 years, he has not only left us in awe of his talent, but has also proven that he can gracefully portray any character given to him. Happy 20 years in the industry, Abhishek. Here’s to many more!
