After playing the role of Inspector Jai in Dhoom 3, Abhishek Bachchan chose to act in comedic films like Happy New Year, The Shaukeens, All Is Well, Housefull 3. Following this period, he decided to step away from acting and didn’t return until 2018 with Manmarziyaan, where he had a secondary role. In a recent interview, Bachchan discussed his break from acting and revealed the true reason for it: “I found everything too effortless, which made me feel uneasy.

By the year 2015, Abhishek Bachchan encountered a creative rut. He admitted to feeling comfortable and unchallenged, expressing his concern when he recognized that things were becoming too easy for him, a revelation that left him uneasy.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but appreciate and acknowledge the bold move made by the esteemed “I Want To Talk” actor. Contrary to what might seem beneficial or expected for a thriving actor like him, he decided against the glamour of films, choosing instead to step back and take a pause at the peak of his career.

Later on, Bachchan clarified that this pause was vital for him to adjust his work strategy, underscoring the importance of taking a step back for both personal and professional development.

During this break, he shifted his attention to various other endeavors, such as his sports enterprises and home office organization. Yet, what stood out most was that he utilized this time for self-examination, contemplating the types of projects he truly felt passionate about pursuing.

Reflecting on his 25-year career in the entertainment field, the actor from Dhoom confessed that failures had taught him more valuable lessons than success ever could. By the point he decided to resume acting, he had developed a strong sense of direction, motivated not just by what he wanted to achieve but also by what he wished to avoid.

In a chat with Etimes, Bachchan underscored the importance of actors constantly striving for excellence in their profession. He advised against taking a film lightly or approaching it without full dedication and effort because making movies requires substantial financial resources. To an actor, he emphasized, it is essential to be committed and work hard.

As this actor explains, enduring restless nights due to the challenges of a role is one of the costs associated with an actor’s giftedness. The star of Happy New Year openly confessed that when acting becomes effortless for them, it often marks the beginning of a downturn, which was his situation at the time.
