For the unversed, Abhishek co-owns Jaipur Pink Panthers with Bunty Walia. The team started playing in the Pro Kabaddi League in 2014. In a podcast with Raj Shamani, Abhishek opened up about investing in the team. “We didn’t know anything, how to make a team, maintain a team, what is the running cost, nothing. It was literally like a shot in the dark,” he said.
“I believed people will want to watch this. It’s just an instinct that you have. I felt that this could work,” he explained when talking about why he decided to buy a team. Abhishek Bachchan then talked about how much money he made from his investment. “Something that started on a shoestring budget, today, is valued in 100s of crores. It’s fantastic,” the actor said.
When asked about how much he gained from the team, the actor replied that he doesn’t count his profits until he sells something, but added, “It is more than 100x right now.” Abhishek Bachchan mentioned that this result was achieved over a span of 10 years.
