Abhishek had talked about his performances

Speaking with PTI, Abhishek Bachchan had said, "I hate all my performances and hope I don't start liking them. I believe that the day you start liking your work is the day you become complacent. I review my work, I always find something I can improve on. I think it's the same with all actors. We are always trying to better ourselves from our last outing. So I am not a big fan of my own work."

Abhishek had spoken about Aamir Khan

The interview, which took place ahead of the release of Dhoom 3, also saw Abhishek praising Aamir Khan. He had said, "...what an honour for any actor to get the opportunity to work with him. You get to learn so much by just observing him. He is so helpful, caring and giving as an actor and it's been a great experience working with him."
