Abhishek Bachchan (born 5 February 1976) is an Indian film actor, producer and playback singer known for his works in Bollywood and Bengali cinema. Part of the Bachchan family, he is the son of actors Amitabh Bachchan, and Jaya Bachchan.

Bachchan made his acting debut in 2000 with J. P. Dutta’s war film, Refugee. This was followed by over a dozen of films which were both critical and commercial disasters. His first commercial success came with the 2004 action film Dhoom, which changed his career prospects. Bachchan later earned critical appreciation for his performances in films such as Yuva (2004), Sarkar (2005), and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006), all of which garnered him three consecutive Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. In 2007, he portrayed “Gurukant Desai” a character loosely based on Dhirubhai Ambani in Mani Ratnam’s drama film Guru, which earned him a nomination for Filmfare Award for Best Actor.

Bachchan has also appeared in several commercially successful films such as Bunty Aur Babli (2005), Dus, (2005), Bluffmaster! (2005), Dostana (2008), Bol Bachchan (2012), Dhoom 3 (2013), Happy New Year (2014), and Housefull 3 (2016).

In addition to three Filmfare Awards, Bachchan has won a National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi for producing the family dramedy Paa (2009). Since 2007, Bachchan has been married to actress Aishwarya Rai and the couple has a daughter named Aaradhya Bachchan.
