Abhishek Bachchan is the son of megastar Amitabh Bachchan.Abhishek Bachchan on not buying an IPL team
During a recent interview with Forbes, Abhishek revealed why he never bought an IPL team. He said, “It is very interesting. I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like the IPL. I think it is the ultimate in sports entertainment. I would love to be involved in it, but at that point of time – first of all, to be honest – when it started, it was very expensive. I was a fledgling actor… my films had just started doing well, I had begun earning some decent money, but it was out of my budget.” He continued, “More importantly, I didn’t know what I could contribute. In terms of infrastructure, the BCCI does a wonderful job—so what could I bring to the table? I am not someone who is happy sitting in the stands and waving. ‘Oh, a star has arrived’—I am not that person… If you have seen me at my matches, I am very involved. I sit with the players. I live with them. I train them if I can. I even approve what they eat every day. I micromanage everything – that’s how I like to work.” When it comes to sports, he has invested in teams such as Jaipur Pink Panthers in the Pro Kabaddi League and Chennaiyin FC. He is often seen attending matches with his family.Abhishek Bachchan’s next project
