Quotes
Abhishek Bachchan
Actor discussing his relationship with Shah Rukh Khan.
“Before I became an actor, on Sundays, my dear friend Uday Chopra and I used to go to Uday's house, and his elder brother, Uday Chopra, and a whole group of us used to play cricket in the afternoons and time to time Shah Rukh would come and play with us. And Shah Rukh has always been like an elder brother. You know, he's somebody I have immense love and respect for.”

“And he's been so, so supportive of me and my craft and my career and has literally taken like personal responsibility several times now, including in King as well. And after we used to finish playing, we used to all just sit around and just talk. And, you know, Uday, me, Sikandar, and Hrithik, we were all, you know, wannabe actors at that point of time.”
