Amitabh hopelessly still tries to console self that his son is successful or maybe did not get his due. Navya's podcast made me feel Shweta and co also resent a lot why people troll Abhishek and compare him to Amitabh or what price they pay for being his kids and having to live up to such impossibly high standards.
Filmfare has always given awards liberally to Abhishek. It is no surprise Abhishek wins Filmfares. Filmfare has always been kind to Bachchans, Kapoors and SRK.
Amitabh seems to embarass Abhishek in these public attempts to promote his awards or prove he is a success or flaunt how proud he is as a father. Maybe jokes about Abhishek as a failure or nepo kid or being there only due to dad or used as example of new generation being not as good as old ones has hurt AB sr. Amitabh seems to have wanted a legacy like Kapoors. He belongs to that generation that saw power of Kapoors. He must be disappointed he did not get it and his kids are nowhere as successful professionally as he is. Rajesh Khanna was another one who hoped Aarav will be superstar one day and prove worth of his genes (probably failures of Twinkle and Rinke in showbiz disheartened him).
