Abhishek Bachchan has been busy in the past few days whether announcing his upcoming Bollywood biggie 'The Big Bull' on Disney Plus Hotstar and marking his digital debut with Amazon Prime's Breathe: Into The Shadows, he has been on cloud nine. ##
Now, as his debut film Refugee which was also the marked debut for Kareena Kapoor completes 20 years on June 30, the actor has something to share with all of us. The 44-year-old on Tuesday took to his Instagram handle and penned an emotional note thanking his debut director JP Dutta for giving him an opportunity in Refugee. Along with the note, he also attached a lovely artwork that has several of his characters sketched on the outline of number 20. ##
To begin with, he wrote, "Today, 20 years ago JP Dutta’s Refugee released. Marking the introduction of yours truly and @kareenakapoorkhan into the world of films. Your first film is always most dear and special; Refugee was no different. An amazing experience! A newcomer could not have asked for anything else. JP Sahab was the best teacher. Caring, nurturing and has since been an amazing guiding force for me".##
The actor further said that without the support of his family, he wouldn't have survived for 20 years in what seems unimaginable. However, he said that it is just a beginning as he has a lot to prove. ##
"Surviving 20 yrs seems unimaginable. The best part is, I feel like I’m just getting started. I have so much more to prove. So much more to do and I can’t wait.... However, none of this would have been possible without my family! They have been my inspiration, my strength, my silent support and my “raison d”être”. They allowed me the freedom to figure out whatever I needed to without ever pressurising me, burdening me with expectation. They let me know when they didn’t like a performance and showered me with love when they did. I am because of them and I hope, some day whey they look back and reminisce they feel proud of me", Abhishek wrote.##

Marking the introduction of yours truly and @kareenakapoorkhan into the world of films. Your first film is always most dear and special; Refugee was no different. An amazing experience! A newcomer could not have asked for anything else. JP sahab was the best teacher. Caring, nurturing and has since been an amazing guiding force for me. The entire cast and crew were so patient,supportive and encouraging. My love and respect for all of them is boundless. Thank you! It is a blessing and a privilege to be able to look back and recount the last 20 years. Any actor will tell you, getting to make a film is a huge honour. Surviving 20 yrs seems unimaginable. The best part is, I feel like I’m just getting started. I have so much more to prove. So much more to do and I can’t wait.... However, none of this would have been possible without my family!

But, now this is sounding like the end.... nowhere near it. Like I said, I’m just getting started. And “miles to go before I sleep”. Like the great Sinatra said- “ The record shows, I took the blows And did it my way!” #TakeTwo . . .
