Abhishek Bachchan celebrates his 30th birthday on February 5. Today hailed as one of the ‘hottest’ guys in the industry, Abhi is loved by all his co-stars - the beautiful ladies and the macho men of the Hindi film industry. Here are what his fraternity members think of his as an actor and a human being…

Kareena Kapoor while shooting with Abhishek for Refugee:

“Abhishek’s father is the best, but he is going to be better than the best. I am sure about it. As a person he is wonderful.”

Kirti Reddy:

“Abhishek has absolutely no airs. He’s like a buddy. You can talk to him about everything and anything; he knows a lot about most things. He has so many sides to him. He’s a big prankster. It’s fun being with him.”

Rani Mukherjee:

“I’ve watched Abhishek grow as an actor. And I feel very proud of where he has come. He’s a great co-star. A film with him is like a picnic.”

Mahima Chaudhary:
“Abhishek is a classy guy with an awesome sense of humour. He is intelligent and great company.”

Lara Dutta:

“I call Abhishek a little brat! But he is an amazing co-star. It took Abhishek and me a while to get to know each other. We were like two school children while our director was the headmaster. Abhishek and I are outspoken. Once he accepts you as a friend, he opens up.”

Bipasha Basu:

“I am very happy for Abhishek. He’s very deserving of success. I don’t mind being linked with cute men like him. Our item number in “Rakht” was fun. When I call him an item boy he wants to kill me.”

Shilpa Shetty:

“Abhishek is a great friend and a great co-star. We had a blast shooting together for Phir Milenge. All that we do besides acting in front of the camera is have a ball. Life becomes difficult when Abhishek is around as he is always up to something.”
