| Here I GO: Abhishek Bachchan soars in to the GO92.5FM studio |
GO Abhishek
Monday mornings will never be the same again. The entire crew of GO92.5FM and all our listeners were treated to a day with the Bluffmaster himself, and while he confessed to being a bit shy, "I need to be comfortable with people before working with them — but I also believe it's important to come out of your comfort zone."
Abhishek Bachchan and director
Rohan Sippy had the whole city in splits with their wild antics and one-liners on air. For instance, when he was asked about his paunch he confessed, "It's too much hard work to maintain washboard abs like
John Abraham. John may have a six pack but I have a one pack" (now we know where they got the material for the script). They even helped RJ Jaggu win a Rs 5,000 bet with RJ Tarana that he would get Abhishek and
Riteish Deshmukh to put on lungis in the studio, of course they obliged.

Priyanka Chopra was tuned in and Riteish came over to hang out, Abhishek was all praises for him, "Ritesh is a fantastic actor. He is the man!" and went on to say, "It's unfair that people tend to give most of their attention to who they perceive to be the lead artist in the film."
For someone who's finally getting his share of the lime light he seems more than happy to share it. I guess the love doesn't end at current co-stars though because he was really generous with his praise for
Vivek Oberoi as well, saying, "He is a great actor and I must stand up for him. When you're down people will kick you even more. And that's when you try to grope for anything that will give you some kind of support."

On a lighter note we also discovered that Abhishek likes to call Priyanka "Piggy Chops", while she calls her co-stars the BM Boys. Oh and that Breitling on his wrist in Bluffmaster is actually his own, "It was a present from
Sanjay Dutt".
And if you like your Bollywood trivia hot off the press; Abhishek revealed more of his many talents, "Pa's dance in Khaike paan banaras wala from Don was inspired by my funky moves as a kid!" His take on dancing was pretty simple too "Our favourite dancers aren't our favourites because they are technically perfect but because they're having a blast dancing." (Are you listening Nach Baliye?)
He also shared the story behind his own personal shout out to
Uday Chopra at the end of the Right here right now video, "UC. Keep running home boy" refers to a conversation they had late one night with
Shah Rukh Khan.

The generous Khan gave them some pretty interesting advice. He told them that there are two types of people in the world, those who run because dogs are chasing them and those who run for the love of running.
"Be the actor that acts for the love of it and not out of some compulsion" and apparently now that's their mutual line of respect.
And If you're still wondering when
Big B will be back doing what he does best, we got it straight from the horse's mouth, "Pa should be back in action within a month."
