Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan penned an emotional note about his son Abhishek Bachchan, revealing how the latter’s unexpected visit brought him immense comfort during a phase of anxiety and emotional unease.
Taking to his personal blog, the veteran actor reflected on feelings of “dislocation” and “displacement”, admitting he was weighed down by worry when Abhishek walked into his room without prior notice.
“And in the distress of dislocation of disconnection of just the futility of displacement… comes a welcome breath… the SON… walks into my room unannounced… in a surprise… simply washed away all the negativity, the worry, the anxiousness,” he wrote.
The 81-year-old star expressed deep gratitude for the reassurance and positivity his son brought into that quiet moment, describing Abhishek as a “beautiful, considerate partner, friend and more”.
Amitabh, who married veteran actress and politician Jaya Bachchan in June 1973, shares two children with her — Shweta and Abhishek. The Bachchan family remains one of Hindi cinema’s most prominent dynasties.

Abhishek, meanwhile, was last seen in Kaalidhar Laapata, directed by Madhumita. The drama followed a middle-aged man grappling with memory loss and emotional abandonment after overhearing his family’s plan to leave him behind at a religious gathering.
