'YES,I AM IN LOVE...'
BT catches Abhishek Bachchan in an upbeat mood
RUBINA A KHAN Times News Network
You can't escape Abhishek Bachchan. He's everywhere, literally more so now because he is said to be dating Aishwarya Rai.
So, is Abhishek in love? "Yes, I am..." he says with a pause and adds, "with my work!" And what about his alleged liasion with Ash? "This question is best answered by the media. I really don't have an answer to that." Is he then implying that he's single? "Yes," he says.
Abhishek turned 30 this year in February and is touted by one and all as one of the most eligible bachelors around. "I don't much care about talks that I am an eligible bachelor. I just like to be left alone to do my work. As of now, I am very happy with my work and the thought of marriage hasn't crossed my mind. But I would love to be married someday. I also love kids. My sister's kids Navya and Agastya are the two best things in my life ever! Though I wish I could spend more time with them," he says. Given that his next release, Kabhie Alvida Naa Kehna is
a film about extramarital relationships, what would he do if he were ever in a real life scenario like that? "No, never! I don't believe in extramaritals. I believe marriage is for good — full and final — and if you want to cheat on your wife, then just don't get married," he says determinedly. Real life aside, is Abhishek game for a French kiss on screen? "Yeah, sure!" And who would the chosen co-star be? "Whoever is working with me on the film." And what if his co-star has bad breath? "There's nothing I can do about it. I am a professional and I'll go ahead and do my job," he laughs.
Professionally, how much has he improved in the last six years since his debut? "I am improving on a daily basis and if people don't think so, then I must be hopeless in
whatever I do!" he smiles. "But this is just the beginning, there is a hard journey ahead and I am looking forward to taking it. I hope I can make my parents proud," he says.
Abhishek considers his parents Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan to be the finest actors. So what is that one trait that he has taken from his parents? "I'd like to believe that I have got more than one quality from them. I have imbibed a sense of perseverance, dedication and 'never give in' attitude from my father. And my mother's temper!" Does he lose his head often? "No, not a lot. I am a very fun loving guy," he says.
In spite of his affable and fun self, Abhishek is always seen wearing dark colours, so much so that it seems like there is no other colour in his life apart from black, brown and grey. "It's just that I like to dress appropriately for the occasion. I obviously won't wear jeans to a formal do, but I'll keep what you have said in mind," he says.
