Amitabh Bachchan’s Influence on Abhishek Bachchan’s Business Decisions
Impact of Deewaar on Abhishek Bachchan
Abhishek Bachchan has expressed how the film Deewaar, particularly a pivotal scene featuring his father, Amitabh Bachchan, continues to influence his business decisions. In the film, Amitabh portrays Vijay, who emotionally purchases a high-rise building where his mother worked as a construction laborer, despite the financial impracticality of the decision. This moment remains memorable for audiences and has resonated deeply with Abhishek, who spoke about its impact during a conversation with Forbes India.
Reflecting on the scene from Deewaar, Abhishek noted it left an “indelible mark” on him. He articulated the lesson he learned from it, saying, “What that taught me was that there was emotion behind the business; it wasn’t just about the balance sheet. And that became an integral part of my decision-making in what I do. If your heart isn’t in it, then what’s the point of doing it?”
Investments in Notable Companies
Abhishek Bachchan has carried this philosophy into his real-world investments, specifically mentioning his stakes in companies like Swiggy and Zepto. When asked about what attracted him to these businesses, he provided a straightforward answer: “I’ve said this before, they got me my misal pav on time. It’s very simple: I enjoyed using the product. It benefited me in my day-to-day life and made things a lot easier, which is exactly what all of you are doing so wonderfully, making life so convenient for us. And that’s literally why I really liked it. So I said, ‘Hey guys, can I be involved in any way?’ And they were kind enough to allow me to.”
Philosophy on Investments and Family Values
At the Global Business Summit 2026, Abhishek further elaborated on how personal values, shaped by his family, affect his financial decisions. He acknowledged the influence of his father, saying, “My father is a believer in real estate. I think there is that old thought zameen hai to sab theek hai (If you have land, then everything is okay), you know, so that partially is there.” He humorously added that his wife has encouraged him to consider investing in silver as part of his investment strategy.
Apart from startups, Abhishek has built a diverse investment portfolio. He owns the Pro Kabaddi League franchise, the Jaipur Pink Panthers, and is also a co-owner of the Indian Super League club Chennaiyin FC. Furthermore, he has diversified his investments by acquiring stakes in Vahdam Tea, collaborating with former cricket star Sachin Tendulkar.
