Abhishek, his son, has since continued to carry on the name in the industry after having been part of many hit movies. You may remember Abhishek as Shankar Nagre in the 'Government' series, Gurukant Desai in 'Guru' (2007), and Inder Bhalla in 'All is Well' (2015), Jai Dixit in the 'Dhoom' series and yes even the mushy role of Rishi Talwar in 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna' (2006).
