Methinks Abhishek Bachchan has found his calling. The actor, best known for being the son of Amitabh Bachchan and husband of Ashwariya Rai, is supporting a kabaddi team called the Jaipur Pink Panthers currently taking part in the Indian Kabaddi League.

Apparently his team is not doing badly. But the thing is that the entire Bachchan clan has now taken to the local sport, and even Abhishek B and Ash babe’s daughter Aradhya have seen a couple of matches.

We knew it, Abhishek B is not meant for acting. He is destined to do things that can vindicate his down-to-earth nature, a la kabaddi.
