That time Amitabh Bachchan was going through a rough time when his company ABCL incurred huge losses. Same time Abhishek was in college, and he had to drop out from his university to help his father during his crisis.

Abhishek also said that though he wasn't adequate or qualified enough to help his father in any way, as a son, he felt he should be around his father.

"Well, truth be told, I left university -- I was studying in Boston University. I had declared my major as liberal arts, and then I majored in performing arts. And I left my education because my father was going through this really rough time, financially. He had started this business called ABCL," Abhishek said.

He further added, "I don't think I was qualified to help him in any which way, but I just felt that as a son, I needed to be around my father and help in whatever way. So I left my college and came back. I started helping him in his company."

Abhishek stated that his father told Chopra that his films or business nothing is working out, "Look, I don't have a job, nobody is giving me work anymore, my movies aren't working, and I've come to ask you to please give me a film to work in."
