'Someone Giving Me Advice For Free, Why Would I Not Take It': Abhishek Bachchan Discusses His Reaction To Negative Comments

Abhishek Bachchan, who will next be seen in R Balki’s ‘Ghoomer’, says that he views criticism as a learning opportunity. 

New Delhi: Abhishek Bachchan will next be seen in R Balki’s ‘Ghoomer’, where he will play the role of coach to Saiyami Kher (a disabled cricket player). Abhishek has a reputation for delivering witty comebacks. Abhishek recently gave an interview in which he spoke up about dealing with negative feedback, saying that he takes criticism as part of his job as an actor. He shared his thoughts on how he responds to hurtful remarks on social media.

Abhishek discussed the human need to defend oneself while receiving criticism in an interview with Humans of Bombay. He said that he views criticism as a learning opportunity. 

"This is where I differ from a lot of people. When somebody says, ‘How do you deal with bad critiques?’ I say, ‘There’s someone giving me advice for free, why would I not take it?’ Why do we get defensive and put up a wall saying ‘oh he is saying something bad’ and ‘this person is not good’," the actor remarked.

Abhishek added, "I am a film actor that works very hard to make films and entertain the audience and but then expects my audience to purchase a ticket with their hard-earned money and watch my film. I owe them the value of that ticket during those three hours. And if I don't manage to do that, they are going to be upset. Today, they have a platform to communicate that to me. It's my job and my duty to listen to them, each and every one of them." 

Abhishek Bachchan, meanwhile, is getting ready for the premiere of his new film, ‘Ghoomer’. Saiyami Kher, Angad Bedi, and Shabana Azmi join Abhishek in the film as supporting cast members. The film will debut in theatres on August 18.
