Actor Abhishek Bachchan was recently seen in Netflix’s ‘Dasvi’, playing the role of Ganga Ram Chaudhary, an uneducated politician who gains his high-school diploma while in prison. Abhishek opened up about studying abroad and spoke about whether he has ever helped his daughter with schoolwork.
He said, “I think she already has the world’s best teacher, which is her mother (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan). I don’t want to downgrade her or her expectations of what a teacher should be like by teaching her. That department is handled by her mother.”
He also recalled how his father, Amitabh Bachchan, used to teach him mathematics. He said, “I remember my father spent a lot of time with me on mathematics. He was brilliant at that. He was a science student. He was a great teacher. But as and when we grow up, sometimes parents are not the best teacher to teach you because darr lagta hai na ki dad kya bolenge ya maa kya bolegi (you are scared of what your parents will say).”
Abhishek said he has been blessed with wonderful teachers in his life. In fact, he described his directors as his teachers. “At present, I think all our filmmakers are like teachers to us actors. The director holds our hand through the whole process. So, to have teachers in every part of your life is a blessing,” he replied.
‘Dasvi’ is currently streaming on Netflix and JioCinema. It also stars Yami Gautam and Nimrat Kaur.
