Abhishek Bachchan finally breaks silence on reports of his divorce with Aishwarya Rai, makes big statement, says…
Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan has finally opened up about how ongoing trolling and fake news, particularly those surrounding his personal life, affect him emotionally. In a recent interview, the actor candidly explained that why he chooses to remain silent and not clarify false narratives about his marital life.
How Abhishek Bachchan reacts when rumours circulate around his personal life ?
While speaking to ETimes, The I Want To Talk actor said he once used to ignore the things written about him, but scenario has changed as he has a family to protect. “Previously, things that were said about me didn’t affect me. Today, I have a family, and it’s very upsetting,” he said. He believes clarifying doesn’t help, as those who peddle negativity aren’t interested in the truth. “Even if I clarify something, people will turn it around. Because negative news sells. You’re not me. You don’t live my life. You’re not answerable to the people that I’m answerable to,” Abhishek explained.
The actor said that those spreading fake news have their own conscience to deal with. “They need to deal with their conscience and answer to their maker. See, it’s not just me. I don’t get affected. I know what the rigmarole of this place is. There are families involved,” he said.
Abhishek Bachchan reveals how trolls affect him
Citing one of the troller’s social media comment that stuck with him, he addressed that how his friend Sikander Kher got deeply offended with the online remarks. Abhishek recalled, “It’s so convenient to sit anonymously behind a computer screen and write the nastiest things. You do realise you’re hurting somebody. No matter how thick-skinned they are, it affects them. How would you like it if somebody did that to you.”
Calling out the online haters to show courage in person, he added, “If you’re going to say it on the internet, I dare you to come say it to me on my face. That person clearly will never have the guts to come and tell me this on my face. If someone comes and tells me things on my face, then I will feel they have conviction. I will respect that.”
On the work front, Abhishek Bachchan is gearing up for the release of Kaalidhar Laapata, which streams on Zee5 from July 4. He is also a part of Shah Rukh Khan’s much-awaited King, alongside Suhana Khan, Abhay Verma, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Saurabh Shukla.
