Actor Abhishek Bachchan and celebrity photographer Dabboo Ratnani have been friends since school. After the actor's rise in the film industry, he has been a regular fixture on Dabboo Ratnani's annual calendars. Now, the photographer has shared a behind-the-scenes video of one such photoshoot with Abhishek Bachchan. In it, the actor is seen interacting with the photographer's three children. He tells them: “I am sleep talking, sleep walking, sleep photoshooting because your father likes to shoot early in the morning with me.” The actor then jokes, “Every year. Back for our sentence of punishment thanks to Dabboo Ratnani… This is the price you pay for having school friends.” In the photoshoot, Abhishek Bachchan is seen posing on a chair in an empty swimming pool. He says with a hint of fake annoyance, “Only he (Dabboo) can think of this,” and adds, “Hi Dabboo, we love you.”
Speaking of Dabboo Ratnani's 20 years in the industry, Abhishek Bachchan says, “Celebrating 20 years of Dabboo Ratnani Photography. Many many congratulations. Here's to the next 30. And for your 50th anniversary, we will still be here in our wheelchairs doing photographs. But I hope we are still around. You are just the best. I love you.”
Sharing the post, Dabboo Ratnani said: “#ThroughTheLensOfDabbooRatnani With my fabulous bestie and bro," and tagged Abhishek Bachchan. Replying to the post, Abhishek Bachchan wrote, "Love you Dabs."
