Abhishek Bachchan is one of those rare Bollywood actors who never tries too hard to prove anything, but his work and calm presence speak volumes.

When Abhishek Bachchan Faced a Nasty Troll in 2020, His Response Was a Masterclass in Dignity

He does not rely on gimmicks, nor does he chase validation. And when haters try to get personal, Abhishek never shies away from serving epic, respectful comebacks.

Back in 2020, during the peak of the pandemic, Abhishek was promoting his web series Breathe: Into the Shadows. While he was keeping his fans updated, a troll jumped in with a nasty and personal comment. The troll wrote:

“Your father admitted in hospital… Ab kiske bharose baith ke khaoge?”

It was a low blow, referring to his legendary father Amitabh Bachchan’s hospitalization due to COVID-19. But instead of losing his cool, Abhishek delivered a response that was as graceful as it was savage. He calmly replied:

“Filhaal toh let ke kha rahe hain dono saath aspatal mein.”

No shouting, no anger — just a subtle reminder that he and his father were facing the same battle together.

Surprisingly, the troll softened their tone after that. They responded with:

“Get well soon sir… Har kisi ki kismat me let ke khana kaha…”

Abhishek didn’t hold any grudge. He replied with nothing but warmth:

“I pray that you are never in a situation like ours and that you remain safe and healthy. Thank you for your wishes, ma’am.”

That exchange still remains one of the best examples of how to rise above hate with dignity. Abhishek could have hit back hard, but he chose kindness — and that’s what made his reply unforgettable.

Whether it’s shutting down trolls or delivering layered performances on screen, Abhishek Bachchan continues to win hearts in his own quiet, powerful way.
