‘Best way to…’: Abhishek Bachchan gives befitting reply to claims of buying Filmfare awards; Fans call it a mic-drop moment
Abhishek Bachchan, who recently won his first Filmfare Best Actor award, has given a befitting response to people accusing him of buying awards. The actor addressed the allegations on social media, stressing his commitment towards his work and career.
X User Accuses Abhishek Bachchan of Buying Awards
The controversy erupted when an X (formerly known as Twitter) user, who also happens to be a journalist, trade analyst, and “cricket ninja” in his bio, wrote, “As much as he’s an affable guy, I hate to say that professionally #AbhishekBachchan is the prime example of how buying awards and aggressive PR pushes can keep you relevant… even if you don’t have a single SOLO blockbuster in your career. He won an award for #IWantToTalk this year… A film which no one saw apart from a few PAID reviewers. And now I see all these tweets saying 2025 is HIS year. HILARIOUS!! (sic).”
Soon after his tweet, comments began to flood in, with internet users taking their stands on whether or not the industry favours its special ones in bagging awards.

A comment stating, “There are far better actors than him who deserve more recognition, work, appreciation & awards… but alas! They don’t have PR smarts & money (sic),” further fuelled discussions on social media platforms.
Abhishek Bachchan Hits Back
What no one expected was Abhishek to take a direct dig. The actor, in his response, refuted the claims and wrote, “Just to set the record straight. Never has any award been bought or aggressive PR been done by me. Just hard work, blood, sweat, and tears. But, doubt you’ll believe anything I say or write. So, best way to shut you up is by working even harder so that you don’t ever doubt any achievement that will happen in the future again. I will prove you wrong! With all due respect and ‘affability’.”

Bachchan’s response stood out for its straightforwardness and focus on merit-based success. He highlighted that his accomplishments stem from hard work and perseverance, not from orchestrated publicity drives or purchased accolades.
