In a recent interview, 'The Big Bull' actor Abhishek Bachchan spoke about the coronavirus-induced lockdown and how it has taught him a whole new meaning of success and how futile it is to run after materialistic things. He said it's his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who “puts life into focus”.
Abhishek said, “Some people ask, ‘Oh what did you do during the lockdown? What have you learned?’ Some people have learned to cook, some have picked up a new hobby, language, new skill set. I feel very overwhelmed, and I was speaking to my wife about it. And as all wives do, they put your lives into focus, they put you back on track. She said yeah but put it this way for the first time in your life you got to spend the entire year with your family. And your family is safe and healthy today. And when she said that, apart from being appreciative of having such a wonderful and sensible wife, it’s so true. We get to do what we love doing all day, and go home to a healthy and happy family.”
For the actor, success now means getting to do what you love and going “back to a healthy and happy family.” He feels, “It doesn't matter if you are living in a mansion or a hut. As long as you can smile or put a smile on the face of your loved ones what else matters?”
