Mumbai: Abhishek Bachchan has responded to Bangladeshi-Swedish author Taslima Nasreen's barb about how Amitabh Bachchan loves his son so much that he thinks he has "inherited all his talents" and is "the best".

Replying to Nasreen on Twitter in the comments section, Abhishek said: "Absolutely correct. Ma'am. Nobody comes close to him in talent or anything else for that matter. He will always remain 'the best'! I am an extremely proud son."
