Abhishek Bachchan Explains Personal Significance Behind Jaipur Pink Panthers Team
Abhishek Bachchan shared on the Future Unplugged podcast that his ownership of the Jaipur Pink Panthers kabaddi team holds personal significance. He chose Jaipur because it was where he filmed parts of his debut movie Refugee and where he and Aishwarya Rai began dating. The team's name reflects family ties: 'Pink' was his daughter’s favorite color, and 'Pink Panther' references Aishwarya’s role in the 2009 film. The franchise has emotional and familial connections for the actor.
