Abhishek loves being in love

As an actor Abhishek Bachchan has redefined the meaning of character roles.
He���s proved time and again how you can be a scene-stealer without trying too hard. Think Yuva, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and you know what we mean.
In Ahmedabad recently Junior Bachchan turned heads, created quite a stir and fan frenzy. In short, he sure shook and stirred Amvadadis. After a much acclaimed stint in the biopic Guru, Abhi gets ready to kick some serious butt again in a new film.He flashes that trademark smile that���s a heartbreaker always and confesses that even though he���s playing a superhero in the film he���s not trying to ���compete with other superhero films made in the past. The film is about recognising your inner strength. Given that good films work in Bollywood, we are feeling optimistic.���
While filmmaker Goldie Behl happens to be a childhood friend, that wasn���t why Abhishek chose to work with him. ���Goldie and I had been discussing various scripts. When this film came up, I felt like doing it.��� Abhishek���s working with his mom in the film too. ���I think it is quite pleasant when people ask me about my working relationship with my mother because most of the times I am always asked about how I follow my father. My mother is a spontaneous actor. She lives in the moment when she acts ��� and that���s really the best quality about her.���
The family Bachchans are always surrounded by controversies. Be it their famous temple visits,the recent MNS tussle or the blog wars. Does it ever take a toll on their private life?
���No, not at all. I think you have no right to be an actor if you don���t like the attention. My private life is still very private. No one knows what���s happening in my life at home. And I don���t let any controversies bother me either. Such things should not get to you.���
While wife Aishwarya is featuring in Pink Panther and dad Bachchan contemplating Hollywood projects, Chhota B has no such plans. ���Pa has that privilege to plan and reject projects. And it���s not about Hollywood, if it���s a good film be it any language I am always ready to do it. Even Ash has that freedom, but in my case I still have a long way to go. I don���t have the option to plan my career. I just try to choose good scripts. I had 17 flops to my career before being recognised as an actor in my own right. So I think I am blessed that they appreciate my work now.���
Critically acclaimed for Guru and Sarkar Raaj recently, Abhishek���s doing the Karan Johar production Dostana where he essays the role of a homosexual. ���I had no qualms acting as one because the script is written wonderfully. There was nothing embarrassing about it. Having said that, I have yet to discover my forte because I believe I am an actor who can be moulded to do anything wonderfully if the script and director are good.���
Finally when we talk about love, family and marriage, that ���pleased as punch��� smile comes back again. ���I love being in love. What more I can say to that? I am proud to be a Bachchan and I am even happier when the world's most beautiful woman said ���yes��� to me. Aishwarya had achieved much more in life, when I proposed to her. So I am happy that she is also now a Bachchan.���
Abhishek has visited Ahmedabad several times since his Refugee and Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost days. ���Even when my earlier films flopped in other cities, Ahmedabad audiences gave a reasonable opening to all my films. So I really feel Gujarat is a lucky state for me.���
On that cheerful, feel-good note and a warm goodbye later we leave the charismatic Bachchan basking in the adulation of his fans.
