Abhishek Bachchan (pronounced [əbʰɪʂeːk ˈbətːʃən]; born 5 February 1976) is an Indian actor and film producer known for his work in Hindi films. Part of the Bachchan family, he is the son of actors Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. From 2012 to 2016, Bachchan appeared in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list, based on his income and popularity.
Bachchan began his career with the drama film Refugee (2000), which was followed by a dozen unsuccessful ventures. His career prospects changed in 2004 with the action film Dhoom, and he received critical acclaim for his performances in the dramas Yuva (2004), Sarkar (2005), and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006), winning three consecutive Filmfare Awards for Best Supporting Actor. His biggest successes as a sole male lead came with the comedy Bunty Aur Babli (2005) and the drama Guru (2007).
Bachchan's other commercially successful films include the ensemble action films Dus (2005), Dhoom 2 (2006) and Dhoom 3 (2013), and the comedies Dostana (2008), Bol Bachchan (2012), Happy New Year (2014) and Housefull 3 (2016). He has since starred in the streaming ventures Breathe: Into the Shadows (2020), Ludo (2020) and Dasvi (2022).
In addition to his three Filmfare Awards, Bachchan won a National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi for producing the comedy-drama Paa (2009). Since 2007, he has been married to the actress Aishwarya Rai, with whom he has a daughter.
