Kareena Kapoor: Abhishek Bachchan to be 'Better Than Best'
16 May
Summary
- Kareena Kapoor praised Abhishek Bachchan's acting potential before their debut.
- She believed Abhishek would surpass his father, Amitabh Bachchan.
- Their bond was attributed to family ties and early comfort.
Resurfaced comments from Kareena Kapoor reveal her early high praise for Abhishek Bachchan, predicting his future success in Bollywood. Speaking in a 2000 interview before their joint debut in 'Refugee,' Kapoor stated that Abhishek was already a "thousandfold better" actor than herself and was destined to surpass his legendary father, Amitabh Bachchan.
Kapoor attributed their strong on-screen chemistry to their pre-existing bond. She mentioned Abhishek was a close family friend, making them comfortable from their first day of shooting together. This early connection laid the groundwork for their on-screen pairing.
After 'Refugee,' they starred in films like 'Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon' and 'Yuva.' In a later 2009 interview, Kapoor reflected on Abhishek's special place in her heart, calling him the first actor she ever shared a scene with. She expressed sadness over their subsequent distance, the reasons for which remain unconfirmed but are often linked to Abhishek's broken engagement with Karisma Kapoor.
