Abhishek Bachchan has said that becoming a father changed his outlook to work and made him incorporate some changes at what he is and isn’t open to doing professionally. Abhishek in a recent interview said that his no intimate scenes policy after the birth of his daughter Aaradhya Bachchan has lost him several projects but he does not have any regrets whatsoever.
Talking about any change brought on by Aaradhya’s birth, he said, “I know it has changed one thing. There are certain kinds of films and scenes I’m not comfortable doing anymore. I would not want to do anything in which my daughter would feel uncomfortable or something that she’d question me about, saying ‘hey what’s going on here?’”
He further added, “I’m thankful for it, because as it is, I was very uncomfortable doing romantic scenes. So I’m not comfortable doing any intimate scenes, and I’d rather not. I say that to my directors before signing on, that if there’s a scene which has a lot of physical intimacy, that’s something I’m not willing to do, so you have a choice.”
He revealed that several times the directors did away with the proposed scene and said, “If they say this is integral to my storytelling and they really can’t wrap their heads around doing it in a differently aesthetic way, then I say ‘look, you have a choice, I’m very happy to bow out’.” Talking about losing projects he agreed and said, “Yes, and that’s fine. No regrets, because I had a creative point of view, and the producer-director have a creative point of view, and they didn’t want to compromise on that and I completely respect that, and it’s perfectly fine.”
