Biography
Though Abhishek began his career in 2000, it was not until 2004 that he grew into prominence. He made his film debut in J.P.Dutta's Refugee along with Kareena Kapoor in 2000 but the film was not considered a success. In a span of four years, Bachchan went on to do many more movies, without any major box-office successes. 2004 was a good year for him. His performance in Mani Ratnam's Yuva, proved his mettle as an actor. He portrayed the character of Lallan which earned him the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award and many wins at major film award functions . The same year, he starred in Dhoom which was his first major hit.. In 2005, he shot to fame with four consecutive hits: Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar, Dus and Bluffmaster. He won his second Filmfare Award in the Best Supporting Actor category for Sarkar. Bachchan also received his first Filmfare nomination in the Best Actor category for Bunty Aur Babli. His first 2006 release, the multi-starrer Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) was one of the highest grossing films of the year. He was also a part of Mani Ratnam's stage show, Netru, Indru, Naalai alongside many other co-stars. His second release Umrao Jaan failed to do well at the box office. His third release Dhoom 2, a sequel to his first hit Dhoom did very well at the box office. His first release in 2007 was Guru. He has received much acclaim for his performance and the film emerged as his first solo hit. He recently made a brief appearance in the multi-starrer Shootout at Lokhandwala which released in May 2007; the film was successful. His next release Jhoom Barabar Jhoom released in June 2007. The film under-performed in India but did better overseas especially in the U.K. The film may have received mixed reviews from the critics. However Abhishek received the majority of praises for his performance being the main glue holding the film together. In 2008 Abhishek Bachchan will join Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Bachchan, and other Indian film actors on the world-wide Unforgettable Tour. This tour will reportedly cover 18 countries and 6 continents.
Personal life
Abhishek Bachchan was earlier engaged to Karisma Kapoor. The couple announced their engagement on Amitabh Bachchan's 60th birthday celebration in October 2002. The engagement was called off in January 2003. After much speculation concerning their relationship, his engagement to Aishwarya Rai was announced on January 14, 2007 . The announcement was later confirmed by Amitabh Bachchan . Bachchan married Aishwarya Rai on April 20, 2007 according to traditional Hindu rites of the South Indian Bunt community, to which his wife belongs. Token North Indian and Bengali ceremonies were also performed. The wedding took place in a private ceremony at the Bachchan residence Prateeksha in Juhu, Mumbai. Though the wedding was a private affair intended for the Bachchan and Rai family and friends, the involvement of the media made it a national extravaganza.
