Every time Abhishek Bachchan’s projects are up for release, Amitabh Bachchan’s social media feed is full of re-tweets of fans, praising his son’s work. The senior actor not only shares and comments what he feels about Abhishek’s performances, but also routinely amplifies opinions of others.

“It is wonderful,” Abhishek told indianexpress.com when asked about having his father show overwhelming love for him on social media. “But times you feel it’s a bit excessive, it’s embarrassing and I told him that once, ‘Hey, can you just back of a bit? Take your foot off the accelerator!’ But we forget, he is also a father. I am a father today and I know the raw emotion that comes with a child. You can’t blame him.”

The actor said one must look at his father’s outpouring of love within the context of his own evolution, as the megastar was previously never public with his expression. It has taken a lot for Amitabh to reach this stage and Abhishek says he looks at it as a father openly, finally, celebrating his son’s work.

“He has finally mustered up the courage to be public about it. He never used to before. He was very shy, almost very scared of expressing his opinions and emotions about it. But he is not doing it (praising me) blindly. I know if there is a scene or a film that he has not liked, or he feels it could have been better, he tells me honestly. We forget that apart from being a huge icon, he is also a father. I hope he is proud of me and I will work towards making proud,” he added.
