The illustrious Bachchan family has long held a revered place in Bollywood, but not without its share of controversies.

Amitabh Bachchan’s legacy, while iconic, has often been clouded by rumors of extramarital affairs, a facet of his life that once dominated headlines.

Now, with Abhishek Bachchan allegedly making similar waves, comparisons between father and son have become inevitable.

The Amitabh Factor

Amitabh’s rumored affair with actress Rekha during the peak of his career was one of Bollywood’s most talked-about controversies. Despite the public frenzy, the Bachchan family maintained a dignified silence, preserving their stronghold in the industry.

Abhishek and the Shadows of Controversy

Abhishek has largely led a quieter life compared to his father, with his marriage to Aishwarya Rai being a focal point of media attention.

However, recent allegations linking him to actress Nimrat Kaur have reignited debates on whether he is following in his father’s footsteps.

Reports of frequent outings and shared moments have fueled speculation about the state of his marriage.

Public Perception

Fans and critics alike are questioning whether this is a case of history repeating itself. Some argue that such rumors are an unfortunate byproduct of celebrity life, while others wonder if Abhishek is indeed mirroring his father’s path—intentionally or otherwise.

A Stain or a Strategy?

Some industry insiders speculate that these controversies might not be entirely accidental. Scandals, after all, have a way of keeping stars in the limelight. For Amitabh, the rumors never overshadowed his stardom; in fact, they arguably added to his mystique.

Could Abhishek be unintentionally adopting a similar “formula” to maintain relevance?

What Lies Ahead

Whether these rumors hold any truth or are mere fabrications, they have undoubtedly thrust Abhishek into the public eye. How he and his family address—or choose not to address—these allegations will likely define the next chapter of his career.

The parallels between Amitabh and Abhishek’s controversies are striking, leaving fans and the industry to ponder: Is this the cost of carrying the Bachchan legacy?
