More than his films, Abhishek Bachchan’s marriage to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan grabbed limelight. 

R. Balki’s critically acclaimed film Paa gave a fillip to the father-son duo, who starred in the film and gave a whiff of freshness and sensitivity on the big screen.

Abhishek Bachchan has done some remarkable work in Bollywood with films like Guru, Yuva, Raavan and Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey. He has shared screen with his father too in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Paa, Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar Raj, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and Bol Bachchan to name a few.
