Actor Abhishek Bachchan talks about meeting Hollywood actor Tom Cruise for the second time recently



When actor Abhishek Bachchan was introduced to Hollywood actor Tom Cruise on his recent trip to the city, many were surprised to find out that the two actors already knew each other. They had met early this year at the Academy Awards (Oscars) in the US, which Abhishek along with wife actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had attended.
This time around, Abhishek met Tom at the red carpet screening of Tom's film hosted by actor Anil Kapoor and though it was a brief meeting of about 15 to 20 minutes, the two seem to hit it off immediately, reveal insiders. According to sources present at the do, the two bonded over films and family. "Tom congratulated Abhishek on becoming a father, while Bachchan Jr congratulated Tom on his new film MI-4. Tom seemed to be aware of a few Bollywood actors including Amitabh Bachchan and he let Abhishek know that. Being the ambassadors of the same watch brand, was also something that the two instantly bonded on," says the source.
When asked about his meeting with the international star, Abhishek admits that it was nice to catch up with him again. Talking about it, he says, "Oh it was wonderful meeting Tom. We didn't get much time… about 15 mins or so, but we spoke a lot about the country. He seemed extremely happy about his visit here about said that he wanted to come back for a holiday with his family. We also spoke about movies and the kind of work we are doing here."
But is he a fan? "Well, I have grown up watching Tom Cruise's films. My favourite performance of his was a small role he did in the movie Tropic Thunder," he reveals. "He is a very sweet man, a great gentleman. It really felt good that he came here. I think it just reflects how important India is as a destination globally today," adds Abhishek.
