Abhishek Bachchan, known for his memorable performances in films like Guru and Bluffmaster, recently shared a profound piece of advice he received from Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Before making his debut in 2000 with Refugee, Abhishek had the privilege of hearing SRK’s words of wisdom during their Sunday cricket sessions. Uday Chopra was also present when the superstar shared an analogy about actors that left a lasting impression on the Dhoom actor.

Shah Rukh Khan explained, “There are two kinds of actors in the world. One actor is running because dogs are chasing him; he is running for his life. The other actor is running because he loves running. Be the second one. Run because you love running, not out of compulsion.” These words resonated deeply with Abhishek and have guided his approach to his craft ever since.
How SRK’s Advice Helped Abhishek in Bluffmaster
Abhishek revealed that Shah Rukh Khan’s advice even influenced his performance in the hit song “Right Here Right Now” from Bluffmaster. In the song’s conclusion, Abhishek delivers the line, “Keep running home, boy,” directed at Uday Chopra. The metaphorical message reminded Abhishek of SRK’s advice to run for the love of it. For him, this became a mantra, motivating him to enjoy the journey rather than focusing on external pressures. Vidya Balan and Shah Rukh Khan in a mature love story? Actress reacts
