Amitabh Bachchan will be the first guest of his son Abhishek Bachchan
on the reality show called Bingo as an anchor. However, if Jr. B is to be believed, it is Big B who has been training the former for the show.

Amitabh Bachchan who is renowned for hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati and lately Big Boss Season 3 has been all tips for son Abhishek. “My father being a great anchor had advised me some tips to handle a game show. Tip no.1: be good to your contestants. Tip no. 2: Be and make them comfortable. Tip no. 3: Always enjoy the game you are hosting,” concludes the actor.

When Abhishek asked about what he calls a tradition to host a show on small screen, he says, “Well, I am thrilled to continue following the tradition and you never know our coming generation too will keep up the same (laughs).

The 33-year-old has faced comparisons with his father ever since his Bollywood debut with “Refugee” a decade ago. Now he says he doesn’t want to be weighed on the same scale.

“He (Amitabh) has been on TV and he created history on the medium. Do I hope to be able to outdo that? No, because that’s not possible. Nobody is going to be a better actor than him; nobody is going to be able to make a bigger mark than him on Indian cinema and on world cinema and the same goes for TV. Do I have aspirations of outdoing him? No, I don’t compete with my father,” he said.

Abhishek, who will be seen hosting the show on entertainment channel Colors starting Jan 23, says such comparisons don’t bog him down.

“You can’t allow comparisons to deter you. You still have to do what you believe in. I am his son, I love him very much and I am his biggest fan. I want him to be around forever and I want him to be the best. I don’t think any son competes with his father. In fact, they are very happy to stand behind and support their father - just as I do, and I am proud of that,” he said.
