Abhishek Bachchan, fondly known as Junior Bachchan, is a celebrated Indian actor and producer, hailing from Bollywood’s legendary Bachchan family. The son of megastars Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek carved his niche in the industry through his unique charm and versatile performances.
He debuted with Refugee (2000) and rose to fame with films like Yuva, Dhoom, Guru, and Bunty Aur Babli. Beyond acting, he has also earned accolades for producing critically acclaimed projects like Bob Biswas and for his role as an owner in the Pro Kabaddi League.
Known for his grace and wit, Abhishek has often faced trolling due to being a star kid and for struggling at the box office. However, he is never one to shy away from addressing criticism head-on with dignity and sharp retorts. His ability to respond calmly yet decisively has earned him respect and admiration, even from critics.
One notable incident occurred when a Twitter user took a jibe at him, mocking his film Manmarziyaan for underperforming at the box office and ridiculing nepotism. The user suggested that star kids like Abhishek should switch to selling vada pav instead of acting.
In response, Abhishek clapped back with a dignified yet pointed reply:
“With all due respect kind sir, I would expect an esteemed doctor such as yourself to study all the facts and figures before proclaiming anything. I certainly hope you do so with your patients. Learn the economics of the film before you tweet something that will embarrass you.”
Meanwhile, the man replied, “Ha ha! You wish Mr. Bachchan Jr! But I don’t see any reason to be embarrassed! In fact actors who give consecutive 16 (+1 now) flops in a row should be! I noted my observations vigorously as “nepotism rocks” in your industry. You may be a good human being, but a terrible actor!”
While the critic doubled down, reiterating his claims and accusing Abhishek of being a “terrible actor,” the actor’s measured response highlighted his maturity and unwillingness to engage in unnecessary conflict!
In an industry often rife with sensationalism, Abhishek Bachchan remains a class act, balancing the pressures of legacy, expectations, and public scrutiny with dignity. His approach proves that true strength lies in maintaining composure and addressing criticism without losing respect for oneself or others.
