Abhishek's note

The note read, “Main ekbaar lapaata hona chahta hoon, bheed mein khud ko phir se paana chahta hoon. Jo kuch bhi tha sab de diya apno ke liye, ab zara sa waqt bas apne liye chahta hoon (I want to be lost once, I want to find myself in a crowd. Whatever was mine, I gave away for the sake of my own kin. Now I wish to take out some time for my own self).”

Sharing the note, Abhishek wrote in the caption: “Kabhi kabhi khud se milne le liya khud se ‘missing’ hona padta hain (Sometimes to find yourself you have to go missing).”

Abhishek's Housefull 5 has collected 250 crore at the worldwide box office. The actor was also seen in the Prime Video release Be Happy, earlier this year. The film revolved around the journey of a single father who aims to fulfil his daughter's dream. The actor is reportedly a part of Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan-starrer King.

Abhishek tied the knot with actor Aishwarya Rai in a lavish wedding ceremony in 2007. They welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, in 2011.
