Abhishek Bachchan on Talk Asia [3/3] *Western Films*

September 10, 2007 http://www.allaishwarya.com/
Hi I'm Anjali Rao, on a star-studded Mumbai movie set with this week's guest, Bollywood heartthrob Abhishek Bachchan. This is Talk Asia.

He's dubbed the Crown Prince of Bollywood. Son of screen legend Amitbah Bachchan, Abhishek has emerged as a major star in his own right, scooping top awards and starring in a number of blockbusters. Educated in Switzerland and the United States, he entered into acting in his early 20s, first appearing in a string of flops. He eventually graduated to more high-profile roles in films such as "Yuva" and Karan Johar's "Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna," also known as KANK, taking his place at the top table.

It was, however, his engagement and marriage this year to top actress and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai that sent the world's press into overdrive. The couple drew comparisons to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, with every move under scrutiny in the full glare of the spotlight.

We meet in a suburb of Mumbai at a school serving as a shooting location for his latest film, which happens to co-star his wife and father.
