Abhishek attended Bombay Scottish School in Mumbai and later moved on to Aiglon College, a British International boarding School in Switzerland. Abhishek later joined Boston University for his under graduate degree.

Bollywood calling led Abhishek to be a dropout and head to Mumbai to try his fate in movies. Abhishek signed JP Dutta’s ‘Refugee’ as his debut movie opposite Kareena Kapoor; the movie did average, but Abhishek did make his mark as an actor and was appreciated for his performance. Although Abhishek had a great start, he had his bit of struggle keeping up to the expectations as his movies kept bombing at the box-office. Abhishek got romantically linked to actress Karisma Kapoor; the two were even engaged to get married, but they had a fallout and Karisma went ahead and got married in the famous Nanda family in Delhi.

After 14 flops and 4 years of his career, Abhishek finally tasted success with Yash Chopra’s ‘Dhoom’ which finally ended his jinx. ‘Dhoom’ followed by ‘Sarkar’ and ‘Bunty Aur Babli’ consolidated Abhishek’s career, who finally acquired the superstar status. Abhishek endorses brands like Ford Motors, LG Appliances and Motorola in India. Abhishek is regarded as the country’s biggest superstar in the making and he dreams of becoming as big as his father.
