Abhishek Bachchan recently shared his experiences with the constant negativity that often comes with being in the entertainment industry. In a candid interview, the actor discussed the criticism he receives and revealed the insightful advice his wife, actress Aishwarya Rai, gave him for handling it.
During an interview, Abhishek was asked about an earlier statement he made regarding his desire to keep everyone happy. He affirmed that this ambition still holds true for him, despite acknowledging the challenges. “Yes. Time teaches you that sometimes you can be foolish. Don’t be so idealistic. But I don’t ever want to let go of that. The day I say yaa I can’t make everyone happy, this is me, take it or leave it, for a film actor, it’s very arrogant and it will be the death of you. There will be no more desire to improve. I understand that it’s a lot more challenging than you say it,” he explained.
Reflecting on his wife’s guidance, Abhishek added, “But I still want to make everyone happy. I still pay attention to all the negative reviews and anybody who says negative things. Sadly, as human nature pays more attention to negativity than positivity. And Aishwarya always said, it’s water off a duck’s back. Why are you concentrating on the negative stuff? Concentrate on the positive, that so much outweighs anything else.”
His words offer a glimpse into his approach to criticism and the grounding influence of his wife’s perspective.
