Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan is currently awaiting the release of his debut web series ‘Breathe Into The Shadows’. He got married to actress Aishwarya Rai in the year 2007 and was blessed with a child in the year 2011. In a recent interview, Abhishek opened up about his career, his movies and about his preferences in acting.
When asked about how becoming a parent impacted his acting preferences and choices, Abhishek Bachchan said “I know it has changed one thing. There are certain kinds of films and scenes I’m not comfortable doing anymore. I would not want to do anything in which my daughter would feel uncomfortable or something that she’d question me about, saying ‘hey what’s going on here?’”
“I’m thankful for it, because as it is, I was very uncomfortable doing romantic scenes. So I’m not comfortable doing any intimate scenes, and I’d rather not. I say that to my directors before signing on, that if there’s a scene which has a lot of physical intimacy, that’s something I’m not willing to do, so you have a choice.”
He also added saying “If they say this is integral to my storytelling and they really can’t wrap their heads around doing it in a differently aesthetic way, then I say ‘look, you have a choice, I’m very happy to bow out’.”
When asked if he’s ever missed a film because of his preference, Abhishek Bachchan said “Yes, and that’s fine. No regrets, because I had a creative point of view, and the producer-director have a creative point of view, and they didn’t want to compromise on that and I completely respect that, and it’s perfectly fine.”
His upcoming web series ‘Breathe Into The Shadows’ stars himself along with Nithya Menen and Amit Sadh playing crucial roles. The series is scheduled to stream on the OTT platform Amazon Prime Video, from the 10th of July.
