In one of his recent interviews, Abhishek spoke about his journey and said, ''My journey has been very basic and boring. I used to study and go to school.  I used to help my mother with her work. I used to look after the house more. I never thought that I will get into the entertainment industry even after coming to Mumbai.''

Talking about his professional struggles, Abhishek said, "My professional struggles are still going on. It is a bitter truth that I still wait in the long queues for auditioning for the roles. I am still looking for work. The struggle is still there. In the initial days, I did not decide to come to this field. It just happened. I was studying law and wanted to get a job. I have always heard that acting is a very vulnerable job. I wanted a stable job. But I was destined to be in this field.''

Lastly, revealing how he got started with work, he said, "I used to get calls for auditions. I started going for it. I had nothing to do at that time, so I utilized that time to give auditions. During my breaks between the semesters, I used to be in Karjat as I had no friends in Mumbai. So, whenever I used to get calls, I used to come to Mumbai and give auditions. I have given 100 to 150 auditions. But nothing happened. So, I believe that nothing is going to happen and I am not meant for this.'' 

Well, Abhishek's journey has been quite a roller coaster!
