Abhishek Bachchan is no stranger to singing, having lent his voice to several Bollywood songs, including Right Here Right Now in Bluffmaster (2005) and the Bol Bachchan title song, among others.
Recently, he was asked to name some of his favourite singers whom he liked listening to. He said, ”Kishore Kumar is a personal favourite. I love listening to Hindi film music, especially the older ones; they’re just, I mean… RD Burman, SD Burman, Kalyanji Anandji, Laxmikant Pyarelal, Bappi Lahiri. They’re just all brilliant. I enjoy that.”
He also spoke about his daughter Aaradhya and her fascination with the Western culture of music. He continued, “I have a 14-year-old at home, so there is a lot of Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. But thankfully, she also loves 80s music, and she is getting into Bon Jovi, and Van Halen and Metallica, so that’s fun. She has got an eclectic sense of music, so I am safe. I don’t have to just listen to all these other,”
Abhishek then touched upon a short story involving a concert he and his family had attended and their experience at that place. “On our summer break, we were abroad, and she took us to see an Ariana Grande concert. I didn’t even know one song, but that woman could sing,”
He further added that many people avoid listening to certain artists due to misconceptions, but, on the contrary, he supported them with words of praise. “Oh my god, the quality of the voice… unbelievable, and to see the fandom that these young singers have is unbelievable. I think they are all so immensely talented, and I know as an older generation, like, ‘Oh no no, we don’t want to listen to Taylor Swift.’ No, they actually make great music.”
Abhishek Bachchan last acted in Riteish Deshmukh’s Raja Shivaji, playing the role of Sambhaji Raje Bhonsale. He will soon be seen this year in Shah Rukh Khan’s next, King.
