They say time flies, yet some experiences and moments are frozen in time. For an actor, it can be his first film, the first interaction with the camera, the first time a filmmaker gave him the chance to showcase his talent. The first an actor tries something new, it gives him butterflies, and that is exactly what Abhishek Bachchan felt on the sets of his debut movie, Refugee. The film has completed 25 years today, and on this special occasion, he reflected back on the years that went by and took a walk down memory lane.

“Hopefully, there’s been a fair share of improvement in these 25 years. As an actor, I definitely feel a lot more comfortable than I was when I first started. As a person, having lived and experienced that much more, obviously, you’re better equipped to handle situations,” shared Abhishek Bachchan during his conversation with Hindustan Times.

He added that as an actor, one wants to improve with every movie, and he hopes he was able to do the same.

Further, in the same conversation, Abhishek Bachchan opened up about his debut film and said, “It materialised because JP Dutta (director) saab saw me at an award function and then approached me to do his film.” According to the actor, it was entirely JP Dutta’s call, and he can’t be thankful enough for the same.

He also confessed feeling nervous and utterly terrified, as it was his first film. “Anytime you do something for the first time, it’s terrifying, and it still is actually. First days are always something that gives a lot of butterflies,” he expressed.

“But obviously getting an opportunity to make your debut with Mr. JP Dutta- that there is a thing of great privilege and honor, and I was immensely nervous,” added Abhishek.

Today, Abhishek Bachchan is counted among one of the most versatile stars of the industry. From serious dramas to social satires to comedy, he has proved his mettle in every genre.
