I love how all the Aish haters come out to suddenly pretend they gave a damn about Abhishek and consider him to be some great actor who was tragically never given his due by an unfair public.
According to these haters, the fault lies with Aish and her fans, and not with themselves who never bothered to pay up to see Abhishek's films onscreen to support him as an actor but are now acting like they cared all along.
At the end of the day, which one has the more iconic films in cinema that anyone on the street could name? Which one has memorable songs and roles and jodis that India and the world all over made into blockbuster hits...certainly not Abhishek. He's a flop actor and always will be.
Part of being an actor is having charisma on the screen and there are some people who simply don't have this. There are even examples of great stage actors who are veterans of the theater but who cannot make the jump onto the silver screen. Abhishek would not even fall into the category of being a great actor offscreen, whereas Aishwarya has always had that special something that made her resonate worldwide. She has that extra jadoo which is what separates the actors from the stars, and the stars from the superstars.
