When Abhishek Bachchan made his debut in the Hindi film industry with Refugee, he was expected to be another product of nepotism but over the years, he proved that he is a brilliant actor. The underrated star of Bollywood achieved his Bas Itna Sa Khwaab of being an actor and in his two decades of acting career, we can proudly say, Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa. Abhishek had delivered some memorable performances and with his contribution to the Indian cinema, he is inarguably one of the brightest stars of his generation.

In his journey in Bollywood, Abhishek Bachchan is not only learning the art of cinema with his experiences during the shoot but he has also become a pro in handling the trolls in the most ‘gentlemanly’ way possible. Some people have targeted Abhishek with the meanest of comments and unnecessary hatred but junior Bachchan had handled them all in the most graceful way always. Despite his calm replies and the fact that he always stays true to himself, the trolls never stopped targeting Abhishek.
Once again, Abhishek Bachchan proved his humility with a reply to the troll, who called him 'good for nothing'. Reacting to the trailer of Abhishek’s film, The Big Bull, a Twitterati wrote, “You are good for nothing buddy.....the only thing which i am jealous of you is that u've got a very beautiful wife....and from that too that you don't even deserve her.” Abhishek replied on Twitter, “Ok. Thank you for your opinion. Just curious... who are you referring to because you’ve tagged a whole load of people? I know Ileana & Niki aren’t married that leaves the rest of us (Ajay, Kookie, Sohum) soooo... P.S- will get back to you about @DisneyplusHSVIP’s marital status.”
In December 2020, when film distributor, Akshaye Rathi had complimented Akshay Kumar for his speed in delivering films and had commented how more actors need to plan better, Abhishek Bachchan had responded with why it is unfair to draw such comparisons. Akshaye had tweeted, “Amazing how @akshaykumar finishes off the shoot of an entire film in the amount of time that other stars take to learn a skill which they need to act out in a small scene or so! And more often than not, his film turns out to be the bigger hit! More actors need to ‘plan’ better!” To which, Abhishek had replied, “Not fair! Each to their own. Different people are motivated by different things. And have a different pace at doing things.” (Also Read: Amitabh Bachchan Shares A Twinning Picture With His Son, Abhishek Bachchan, Shares How He Leads Him)
That didn’t end there as it led to a debate between the two and it was soon joined by a Twitterati, who had advised Abhishek Bachchan to ‘work hard and become fast’. The user had written, “Bhai… It's always good to appreciate people who are setting good example for the community. The one who couldn't they didn't get appreciated… Simple formula. I understand you are slow that's why you may be feeling bad. Work hard and become fast.” To this, Abhishek had responded, “Mr. Prabhakar. During this pandemic, I completed a web series, a documentary and finished 3 films. Released and promoted the web series, 1 movie and the documentary too. I don’t think speed is my problem, neither intent.” Clarifying that his comments were being misrepresented, Abhishek had said, “Koi bhi judge nahin kar raha bhai Saab. Akki bhaiya ki work ethic or professionalism. Kabil-e-tareef hai.”
Back in October 2020, Abhishek Bachchan was called a ‘product of nepotism’ and was accused of having a career because he has a famous father. The Twitterati had written, “@juniorbachchan hey product of nepotism, if u r doing struggle then i wish god gives struggle like u to every individual. Me n my wife Sneha hv been doing youtube for a while but this different from ur big banner films also. Bcz i do it on my own nd dont ask my father to refer.” Schooling the troll, Abhishek had tweeted, “You are ill informed, immature and naive. Stop believing incorrect and bogus narratives. Think! Please, for your wife’s and family’s sake.” (Also Read: Unseen Picture Of Abhishek Bachchan And Aishwarya Rai Creating Lifetime Memory A Day Before Wedding)
