Ariana Grande’s voice left Abhishek Bachchan speechless — not because of the music, but because he didn’t know a single song. The actor, known for his own Bollywood crooning in Bluffmaster and Bol Bachchan, admitted to being completely out of his depth at his daughter Aaradhya’s recent Ariana Grande concert abroad. 'I didn’t even know one song,' he said, but added that the sheer vocal power of the pop star had him stunned. 'That woman could sing.' It was a rare moment of musical surrender from a man who once sang about ‘right here, right now’ with full confidence. Now, he’s conceding ground to a singer whose biggest hit might as well be a foreign language to him. Still, he’s not letting age or genre divide him. 'They actually make great music,' he declared, pushing back against the generational snobbery that often dismisses today’s chart-toppers. He cited Taylor Swift and Grande as artists whose talent is undeniable, even if their sound doesn’t match his childhood favourites like RD Burman or Kalyanji Anandji. His daughter, 14, is the bridge, she’s into Olivia Rodrigo, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, and yes, Ariana Grande. That mix? He calls it 'eclectic'. And safe. For now. But what happens when the next generation starts demanding more than just a nod to Western pop? The real test isn’t whether Abhishek likes the music. It’s whether he’ll ever get to the end of a playlist without switching tracks. King, his upcoming film with Shah Rukh Khan, drops this year. No word yet on whether it’ll feature a Grande cover. Or if he’ll even recognise it.
