Abhishek Bachchan has been keeping his fans updated by sharing anecdotes as a part of his new series on Instagram #RoadTo20 depicting his 20-year-long journey in Bollywood which he will complete by the end of this month.
On Friday, the actor remembered working with his mother and veteran star Jaya Bachchan for the first time. He remembered the opportunities that the year 2002 brought in for him, the actor said that the year was full of first experiences but the most important one was portraying her mother Jaya Bachchan’s "on-screen son" in Bengali film Desh.
In his caption, Abhishek wrote, "#RoadTo20. Year - 2002. A year of many firsts!!! But the top would be getting to be part of a film with my mother. Desh, was a Bengali film she was acting in (directed by Raja Sen).I was in Kolkata for a function when she called me and asked me to visit her. She was shooting near Siliguri in West Bengal. I did. And ended up doing a small cameo as her on-screen son."
He further shared another memory from the film Om Jai Jagdish, which was also released in 2002. It was veteran actor Anupam Kher’s first film as a director.
"The other would be, being directed by one of my acting teachers, my guru... @anupampkher Om Jai Jagdish was Anupam uncle’s 1st film as a director. He helped me immensely in 'opening up as an actor' and shedding my 'awkwardness'. One of the best teachers I have ever had!" he said.
