Very well said Minnie. You are a wonderful writer. 👏 👏 👏
No matter you are related to someone in the industry or not, but if you can act, everything else is meaningless. Yes, we do over expect from star kids and compare them with their parents but I think it works in their benefit because they tend to work harder to lift that bar. and our Abhishek just provved that he can really act good.

Very intresting debate! 👏

I believe that Abhishek deserves every bit of the success he is getting today. He has become what he is today on his own. He didn't get instantly popular the moment he entered the industry...on the contrary i think that being amitabh's son intimidated him when he first entered the industries because he had heavy pressure to prove himself and deliver hits and hits like his father and I am sure that all of you, at some point in your life, would have realized how hard it is to work under pressure with all the eyes of the media people and other members on you waiting to cancel you out and bash you at every little mistake u make.

If anyother newcomer makes a mistake or delivers a flop, nobody would get their guns out and start bashing and criticizing him/her. So why are the rules different for abhishek? It isn't abhishek who went around telling people that 'I am special' or 'I am great coz my father is Amitabh Bachchan'. It is we the people who constantly kept on banging on his head that he is special and has to prove himself in his very first debut. It was the pressure to live upto his fathers name that intimidated him.

All that hype abt being Amitabh's son has had more negetive points then pisitive points for abhi but he managed to grow out of all that and though he wasn't so good in his first few films, he grew as an actor and as a celeb. He tried, he failed, he was bashed and criticized, he was cancelled of as an actor who will ever succeed, he had to bear all the taunts of how his father was 100% better than he was and how he will never match upto his fathers name. But Abhishek grew out of all that and he proved himself. He established through his fine acting that he was a great actor. and then he got the fame that he deserved. I thus think that he deserves every single bit of the fame he is getting today and he has not stopped, he is still improving with every single film of his and, I don't know why coz i don't even know him, but i feel really proud of Abhishek cause his determination and hardwork finally paid off 😊

I do not think Abhishek is overrated. I absolutely LOVE to see him in serious roles 👏 . I think it really suits him. I did not like his role in Salaam Namaste and Tera Jadoo Chal Gaya. But, apart from these two movies other ones are much better. 😊

1)But with just two "exceptional" performances,how fair is it that he's touted to be the next superstar😕?? well abhishek is our next superstar. i believe he is because he has all the traits..it is totally fair to call him the next superstar because of how his trends are..any movie that he does is either a superhit or an average hit..is that not good enough

2)IS Abhishek overrated...🤔....Barring Sarrkar and Yuva,he hasnt been superlative in any other movie well abhi is really not overrated..every actor is overrated in one way or another cuz not all like him/him..same case here..not many like him-but the ppl. who do, do not over rate him at all

3)SO is ABhishek worth all the hype and hoopla,or is he overrated😛well one day or another..everyone who says abhi was overrated will say "i was wrong" cuz he is really worth all this hype..if srk and hrithik receive all this hype..abhi at least deserves some hype

-just my views and thoughts😉

heck no hes not overrated.......you see all those flops he had in the beginning and him not being recognized despite being amitabh bachchan's son....he didnt even get signed with big banners until he showed some potential in his acting.......this is coming from someone who used to think he was a terrible actor and now simply adores him.......he has worked really hard and he doesnt take advantage of his bachchan surname......he has a long ways to go as does any other actor but he has a very promising future.....hes a superb actor 😛 😛 😛 ........naina

first of all nice topic 😊

in my opinion abhishek bachchan is over rated... i will have to admit that he can act well... but the way he is ranked in bollywood nowadays is not really logical.... u dont see him really being compared to actors amongst his own league, but hez compared to the actors who have far more experience and success on their side than him ....... abhishek who was not recognized at all before is now a recognized actor, but y create a big star out of him wen he has so much more to accomplish ..... i mean it was only two years ago wen he gave his first hit performance, and now hes being compared to actors lyk shahrukh...... i mean sum people dont lyk the comparison between amitabh and shahrukh then how can srk and abhishek be compared,which is so often seen nowadays.. and that too wen abhishek has only achieved two years of success... i can only think of one thing wen i think about this , and thats that abhishek is being over rated as an actor... being a gud actor and being an over rated actor r two seperate things.... the fact is that hes a gud actor... but the way hes considered today in bollywood is too much... he still has to accomplish more... therefore in my opinion hes an over rated actor in bollywood.

He's not at that point in his career where he can be called "over-rated." Its only been in the last few of his films that he even got noticed. I would say.. thats hes still under-rated in a way!

LOL,I guess I stirred up a real hornet's nest 😆


Yes,ABhishek has definitely come a very long way.....He surely deserves to taste success...But,is the success just too much ???He was unfairly compard to Amitabh,and my sympathies did gravitate towards Abhishek(I myself being an ardent Abhishek lover),but then,it did also make sense(I sees 1000 ande coming my way 😆😭)..When Abhishek can get a decent launch in refugee,with a "Good" director like J.P Dutta at the helm ,only because he was Amitabh's son.Actors with a non filmi background find it very much difficult borderline impossible to get a decent launch..Either they need to resort to a sleazy Bhatt film,or a film with a C grade director..Being Amitabh's son,he was launched by a decent director,and his contacts bagged him a few roles like Kuch Na Kaho(directed by Ramesh Sippy's son,who was Abhishek's friend),Bas itna sa Khwab HAi(Goldie Behl at the helm,another friend of Abhishek),and Dhoom...We say that he is unfairly compared to his dad,but the very fact that he got those many chances is because he is Amit's son...Yes,he did capitalize on those chances,and improved remarkably,but not everyone get those many chances.....With his unconventional looks,he was sailing against the wind...

He started out as a BAD actor,improvized tremendously ,picked himself up off the floor and was absolutely brilliant in Yuva 👏 ...But,he signed Yuva after Hrithik had rejected the role,and Dhoom didnt have any "STAR"...because,when Dhoom went on floors,Everyone associated with the movie were sailing in the same boat..John ABraham wasnt a STAR yet,Esha Deol had almost faded into oblivion,No one had noticed Rimi Sen,Abhishek too had a string of flops,and Uday Chopra was there because he was Yash Chopra's son....Thus Abhishek didnt get dhoom on merit of his acting prowess....

Dhoom was a hit,Yuva was critically acclaimed and Abhishek was catapulted into stardom 👏 And the rest as they say is going to be history...But,all I'm saying is,with just 2(or heck,Lets make it 3..Lets consider Bunty aur Bubli to be a masterpiece too,albeit I dont agree with it lol) exceptional performances,isnt it just too early to decide that he's our next superstar 😕 He is miles upon miles from being the next "SUPERSTAR"....

Another horrendous trait,which I observe in practically everyone is this..When someone is down and out,people write them off completely..and when someone is a tad bit successful,unhe shikhar par bita dete hai 😕 .people are always on either end of the spectrum,either everything is great,or everything is bad 😕😕 Now that really takes the biscuit
