Recalling the first scene he ever shot for his debut film, JP Dutta's Refugee, Abhishek said about 2000-3000 people had come to watch 'Amitabh Bachchan's son' and he got so nervous that he had to give 17 retakes to get his first shot right."That evening as I was driving back to the hotel, it dawned on me that I had spent more energy that day thinking about pressure, perception and what people are going to say vis-a-vis my parents, when actually those energies should have been channelled into doing my job. And I decided that day that I'm never going to think about this," he added.
