Twenty
years
ago
on
this
day
(June
30),
power
couple
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Jaya
Bachchan's
son
Abhishek
Bachchan
stepped
into
the
Hindi
film
industry
with
JP
Dutta's
cross-border
love
story
Refugee.
The
film
was
also
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan's
debut
vehicle.
As
Abhishek
completes
two
decades
in
Bollywood
today,
the
actor
walked
down
the
memory
lane,
and
revealed
why
his
debut
film
Refugee
will
always
be
dear
and
special
to
him.
In
his
post,
Abhishek
also
thanked
his
family
for
being
his
inspiration
and
strength.
'Your
First
Film
Is
Always
Most
Dear
And
Special,'
Says

Bachchan
Abhishek
Bachchan
wrote
in
his
Instagram
page,
"Time
flies
when
you're
having
fun!
#RoadTo20
Today,
20
years
ago
JP
Dutta's
Refugee
released.
Marking
the
introduction
of
yours
truly
and
@kareenakapoorkhan
into
the
world
of
films.
Your
first
film
is
always
most
dear
and
special;
Refugee
was
no
different.
An
amazing
experience!
A
newcomer
could
not
have
asked
for
anything
else.
JP
sahab
was
the
best
teacher.
Caring,
nurturing
and
has
since
been
an
amazing
guiding
force
for
me.
The
entire
cast
and
crew
were
so
patient,supportive
and
encouraging.
My
love
and
respect
for
all
of
them
is
boundless.
Thank
you!"
Abhishek
Bachchan
Says
He
Has
So
Much
More
To
Prove
He
further
continued,
"It
is
a
blessing
and
a
privilege
to
be
able
to
look
back
and
recount
the
last
20
years.
Any
actor
will
tell
you,
getting
to
make
a
film
is
a
huge
honour.
Surviving
20
yrs
seems
unimaginable.
The
best
part
is,
I
feel
like
I'm
just
getting
started.
I
have
so
much
more
to
prove.
So
much
more
to
do
and
I
can't
wait...."
Abhishek
Bachchan
Thanks
His
Family
For
Being
His
Pillar
Of
Support
"However,
none
of
this
would
have
been
possible
without
my
family!
They
have
been
my
inspiration,
my
strength,
my
silent
support
and
my
"raison
d"être".
They
allowed
me
the
freedom
to
figure
out
whatever
I
needed
to
without
ever
pressurising
me,
burdening
me
with
expectation.
They
let
me
know
when
they
didn't
like
a
performance
and
showered
me
with
love
when
they
did.
I
am
because
of
them
and
I
hope,
some
day
whey
they
look
back
and
reminisce
they
feel
proud
of
me,"
wrote
Abhishek.
The
Actor
Concluded
His
Post
On
An
Inspiring
Note
"But,
now
this
is
sounding
like
the
end....
nowhere
near
it.
Like
I
said,
I'm
just
getting
started.
And
"miles
to
go
before
I
sleep".
Like
the
great
Sinatra
said-
"
The
record
shows,
I
took
the
blows
And
did
it
my
way!"#TakeTwo,"
Abhishek
signed
off.
The
Guru
actor
also
thanked
his
fans
on
Twitter
and
wrote,
"#20yearsofRefugee
20
years

1st

Thank
you
all
for
the
love,
the
acceptance
and
the
support.
It
means
the
world
to
me.
Now,
no
looking
back,
onward!
Off
to
work
I
go!
🙏🏽."
