Abhishek Bachchan grieves the sudden death of his first suit stylist Akbar Shahpurwala.

Junior Bachchan or Abhishek Bachchan recently accompanied his ladylove Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at 75th Cannes Film Festival. After spending a week in Cannes, the actor has made his return to his humble abode in Mumbai. Little did he know that unfortunate news would be waiting for him.

Recently, the 46-year-old actor took to his official social media handle and informed us about the sudden demise of his first suit stylist, Akbar Shahpurwala. Abhishek Bachchan penned down a touching note for the late Bollywood stylist.

In his note, Abhishek Bachchan revealed that Akbar Shahpurwala has been stitching his suits ever since he was a baby. Not only this, but Akbar also stitched the tuxedo when Abhishek Bachchan got his first-ever break in Refugee.

Abhishek Bachchan shared the post on his Instagram

Calling him a ‘bona fide legend of the film world,’ Abhishek wrote that Akbar personally cut his suits, implying that he genuinely adored Abhishek Bachchan. Within no time, several B-town celebs also chimed into the comment section and expressed their heartfelt condolences to the late suit stylist.

Costume designer Manish Malhotra also commented on the post, ‘RIP Akbar’. Karan Johar, Bobby Deol, Farah Khan Kunder, and Shweta Bachchan also dropped their sincere condolence in his daily post shared by Abhishek.

Shweta Bachchan (Abhishek’s sister) also reminisced about many memories with him and prayed for his departed soul to rest in peace.

Amitabh Bachchan also remembered the late suit stylist through his tweet, saying that the late Akbar Shahpurwala had designed and stitched his clothes for over 50 years. He also prayed for his departed soul to rest in peace.

On the Work Front

We say B-town’s underrated actor; you hear Abhishek. With his recent performances, Abhishek has made us realize that he is one of the underrated actors in Bollywood.

Junior Bachchan has served the film industry with a handful of unforgettable performances but never received the love he deserved. How can we forget his impeccable performance in Dasvi, starring opposite Yami Gautam and Nimrat Kaur?
