Two of Bollywood’s much-loved actor Abhishek Bachchan and Kareen Kapoor Khan have now completed 20 years in the industry. The actors started their Bollywood journey together with their debut film ‘Refugee’ directed by J P Dutta.
Taking into account their respective social media posts, the two of them remembered fond memories and shared their experiences in the industry. In the one side, where Juinor Bachchan thanked the director for a great experience, the actress, on the other side, posted a snapshot of her first shoot at 4 o’clock in the morning.
Kareena shared a picture of her first shot for the film. Along with it, she wrote, “My first shot was at 4 am… I woke up this morning at 4, looked in the mirror, and said to myself that this was the best decision I could have ever taken. 20 years of hard work, dedication, and self-confidence… I am extremely grateful to all my fans for all your love, support, and strength… Thank you #JPDutta for my life in the movies… @bachchan for being the sweetest co-star… and every single person involved in this film. Want to go back in time… #20YearsAndNotGivingUp (sic).”
Abhishek Bachchan shared an art piece with the number 20 in the center, with all the characters he’s been trying to decorate in his career. He also wrote a long note to remember his first film.
He wrote –”Time flies when you’re having fun! #RoadTo20 Today, 20 years ago JP Dutta’s Refugee released. Marking the introduction of yours truly and @kareenakapoorkhan into the world of films. Your first film is always most dear and special; Refugee was no different. An amazing experience! A newcomer could not have asked for anything else. JP sahab was the best teacher. Caring, nurturing and has since been an amazing guiding force for me. The entire cast and crew were so patient, supportive and encouraging. My love and respect for all of them is boundless. Thank you! (sic).”
On the entertainment front, Kareena’s last performance was Good Newwz co-starring Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani, and Diljit Dosanjh. Soon, she’ll be seen in Laal Singh Chaddha, opposite the Aamir Khan superstar.
Abhishek, on the other hand, is ready with his next film, The Big Bull, which is set to release on Disney+Hotstar soon. Apart from this, he will also be seen in Anurag Basu’s Ludo and Diya Annapurna Ghosh’s Bob Biswas. The show will premiere on July 10.
