Abhishek Bachchan Told Big B He Is 'Not Cut-out For Acting'

Abhishek Bachchan in his recent interview with Galatta Plus said, "I went through a phase in my career when a lot of my movies weren't working. Critics were panning my performances, no matter who I worked with. I say 'who I worked with' because I worked with some of the biggest directors, hoping that okay, they'll teach me stuff and rectify stuff that I haven't managed to do. But nothing was happening. In a weaker moment, which is embarrassing for me to think of now, I went to my dad and said, 'We need to talk. I think I made a big mistake. I'm not cut out for this because no matter what I do, it isn't working. I've tried all kinds of cinema, genres, and filmmakers. I'm just not able to do it. Maybe it's time for me to be honest with myself and say, 'Hey, you're not cut out for this. You're not good enough. Find something else to do,'" Abhishek recalled.

Recalling Amitabh's response, he added, "He reassured me. He said, 'I'm saying this to you as your senior, not as your father. You're nowhere near the finished product. You have a lot of improving to do. But I'm noticing improvement in every film of yours. There's a hidden good actor within you. How good you become is up to you and how hard you want to work. The only way you're going to be able to polish your craft is by working. So go out there, whatever film you get, just sign and work.' And that's what I did. I just went out. I didn't care what kind of role it was - supporting, secondary, tertiary, I did everything until I found the confidence in myself. And then until, from the box office perspective, I could deliver at the box office and people started banking on me as a leading man again."
