Abhishek Bachchan’s funny defense of why he’s a better actor than Amitabh Bachchan

In a recent episode of the popular show Kaun Banega Crorepati, Abhishek Bachchan made an appearance to promote his film  I want to Talk and discuss it with director Shoojit Sircar.

During the episode, Abhishek Bachchan humorously claimed that he is a better actor than his father, Amitabh Bachchan, and his reasoning is sure to leave you in splits.

When Shoojit Sircar posed the question of who is the better actor between him and his father, Abhishek Bachchan confidently responded, "Main (Me)." After a brief pause, Amitabh humorously added, “Dekhiye, apni tareef karna bohot hi mushkil hota hai (See, it’s very difficult to praise myself).” This left everyone laughing, prompting Abhishek to explain his choice.

Abhishek continued, “Off-camera jab pariwar baith ke kuch khele, ek game hai dumb charades, every time, the last person to be chosen (points at Amitabh). He is atrocious at dumb charades. Woh kuch bhalta hi karenge, kuch ulta hi karenge. Everybody hum log yeh prarthana karte hai ki bhai kuch bhi hojaye, dad humare team mein na ajaye, hum log haar jayenge. Off-camera inka koi bharosa nahi hai (He will definitely do something absurd. All of us pray that dad shouldn’t be in our team or we will lose. Off-camera, you can’t trust him)."

The next question Shoojit Sircar asked was, "Who feasts on junk food more—Amitabh or Abhishek?" Amitabh humorously replied, "Jitni baar break hota hai, aap log samajhte hain hum bhi gaye washroom. Actually, main junk food khaane ke liye chala jata hoon (Every time there’s a break, you think I go to the washroom. Actually, I go to eat junk food)."

Money Control reviewed the Abhishek Bachchan starrer I Want to Talk and gave it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

Our Review read, “Arjun Sen is fighting death. Eventually death will win. But Arjun will win 99 times. So, the final score is Death-1, Arjun Sen- 99”. The tale of survival against all odds will tug at your heartstrings. It will make you empathize and cheer for Arjun as he faces one health crisis after another. The film is as much a love letter to healthcare workers and nursing staff (think, the adorable Nancy) as it is a celebration of life and human spirit.
