Abhishek Bachchan recently won the Filmfare Best Actor award for his performance in I Want To Talk. On Wednesday, a journalist tweeted that Abhishek buys awards and is still relevant because of the aggressive PR. So, the actor gave a befitting reply to him.
The journalist tweeted, "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)."
"There are far better actors than him who deserve more recognition, work, appreciation & awards.... but alas! They don't have PR smarts & money (sic)," he further wrote.
Replying to the journalist, Abhishek 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”."
The journalist replied to Abhishek and wrote, "Have ALWAYS written laudatory things about your conduct and many a time about your films/acting too, sir. And opinions are always reserved for work, never about someone's character or personal life. What I wrote about this film is a subjective opinion. No malice intended."
"As for awards, I won't hold brief for them :-) Genuinely wish to see you more in mainstream movies in prominent roles. PS: Will always maintain you're perhaps the most well-behaved actor of this generation. Best, always," he further wrote.
Directed by Shoojit Sircar, I Want To Talk was released in 2024. The film received mixed to positive reviews, but it failed to make a mark at the box office. However, everyone had praised Abhishek's performance in it.
