Abhishek Bachchan owns a Kabbadi team named, Jaipur Pink Panthers. Once, in a press conference, Abhishek had revealed how his team’s name has a personal connect with his father, Amitabh Bachchan. Narrating the personal connection with the family, junior B had revealed the nicknames the father-son duo have for each other as he had recalled a childhood incidence.
