Bob Biswas: Abhishek Bachchan gets a grandsons welcome in Kolkata

7 Feb 2020

Abhishek Bachchan loves Kolkata. And Kolkata loves him back. Back in the City after a long hiatus, Abhishek has been accorded a princely welcome. Shooting for a new film Bob Biswas on the streets and outdoor locations, Abhishek is constantly mobbed by huge crowds wherever he goes. Says Abhishek. It is very heartening to return to Kolkata. The last time I shot in this city was for Mani Ratnams Yuva in 2003. Ive also shot for Rituparno Ghoshs Antar Mahal in Kolkata. Then I did another Bengali film Partha Senguptas Desh where I played my own moms son. Each time Ive been given a royal welcome here. It feels like coming home. Bengalis call me their Naati (grandson). Abhisheks mother Jaya Bachchan is Bengali and Jayas father Taroon Coomar Bhaduri was an eminent journalist in Kolkata.
