New Delhi, Feb 5: The Gurubhai of Bollywood Abhishek Bachchan has experienced 37 years of his life. It's all going to be a happy hour for junior B, as he is also the father of a beautiful angel Aaradhya with wife Aishwariya Rai Bachchan. Debuting in JP Dutta's “Refugee” opposite Kareena Kapoor, and stepping into Bollywood, Abhishek was not recognized for his work, and he was addressed as Big B's son. Carrying the weight of such a big name on its shoulders, the actor resumed his journey in a career full of ups and downs.Despite being in the cold for almost 5 years including 17 flicks, the actor didn't relent. He, in fact, tasted the first commercial hit in "Dhoom". In the same year ,Junior B proved his worth as an actor in Mani Ratnam's' "Yuva", being critically acclaimed, and the real fight had just commenced.Bunty Aur Babli, Dus , Bluffmaster, just added to his success list, while Sarkar made him claim the tiltle for the Best Actor in the supporting role. As it wasn't enough, he won the same award for "Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna", and flourished in the end with "Dhoom-2", though Hrithik stole the show.Who can forget a trademark delivery by him in Mani Ratnam's "Guru" opposite Aishwariya Rai with whom he was about to tie his knot. The flick did make him the nominee for the Best Actor in the Filmfare Award ceremony.The next year of 2008 made him play some bad innings with Drona, Sarkar Raj, but was all covered by "Dostana", with co-star John Abrahim, repeating the success of "Dhoom" when the duo shared the screen for the first time.An unimaginable event was witnessed when Abhishek played the role of Big B's father in the flick "Paa". But the role was all the more promising with perfect delivery from both the stars.Through Bol Bachchan, the actor tickled the bone playing a double role in the flick which got him applause from all around and made him win the Best Actor in a comic role. Similar to Big B, with great acting skills, Abhishek too tried his vocal for a few songs namely 'Ek Main aur ek tu" in Bluffmaster and 'Thai Thai' in "Dum Maro Dum", which even ruled for couple of weeks in the chartbusters.Besides singing, Junior Bachchan is passionate about expensive cars. He owns the powerful Bentley Continental GT premium saloon that comes with a grand price tag over Rs. 2 crore in the Indian market. The actor received this Bentley as a present from his 'uncle' Amar Singh on his 31st birthday. Abhishek also owns the stunning and powerful Audi A8 luxury saloon, which too comes with a price tag in excess of Rs. 1 crore in India. The actor says 'never let your fear conquer you. Always face it again with smile, because if you don't, that fear will become the biggest phobia of your life, and you will never able to overcome it'. Abhishek followed the same when he commenced his career in the film industry.With the same mantra, Junoir B has various projects this year, namely "Dostana 2", “Happy New Year” and Umesh Shukla's next. We hope for the best to come out of these, for today it's party hour for Abhishek Bachchan.
