Actor Abhishek Bachchan has a strong fan following, but sometimes he gets criticised on the public platform for his work. The son of megastar Amitabh Bachchan says he gets bothered by criticism.

Be it his acting skills or his flop films, Abhishek, at times, gets slammed on social networking sites. Does it bother him?

"It does bother me. We are human beings. It hurts terribly. The sad thing is that you can get 100 compliments but that one criticism will ruin your day. As actors, when there is such a huge volume of love coming your way, we hold on to that one negative thought.

"...We want to entertain everyone, we want everybody to enjoy our work," Abhishek, who has starred in flop movies like "Dum Maaro Dum" and "Players", told IANS.

He shared that even if one percent of the audience says they don't like it, it "hurts you. It's very upsetting".

"Actors would be lying if they say criticism doesn't bother them. I have never looked upon criticism as negativity. I take it as an advice," he added.

The "Bol Bachchan" star considers his father his biggest critic. He said: "He (Amitabh) shares his thoughts honestly with me and has always pointed out that I could have done it differently." Abhishek will soon be seen in Sajid-Farhad's "Housefull 3", which also stars Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh. Was there any insecurity while working with Akshay and Riteish? He said: "I don't believe in actors being insecure. If you are confident about your job, you don't have to be insecure. Riteish and Akshay.. we are good friends. I've known them for a long time on and off screen.
"There was absolutely no insecurity." Abhishek, who has been exploring comedy in Bollywood, says he wants to stay away from adult comedies. He said: "The basic concept of Housefull' is that there is a house which is full and there is chaos that's how I categorize Housefull'. I believe comedy never comes naturally to anyone. Comedy depends on the material. "It is very difficult to do. Besides, I personally don't think I can do adult comedy. I don't think I have the ability to pull it off." "Housefull" is a successful franchise and Abhishek says he was nervous before shooting for the film. He said: "The initial reaction was Yes, let's do it'. The script is great, star cast was so much fun so, it was a yes. But before the shooting started, that was when I realized that it is a big franchise and I need to pay attention. That's when the pressure started building."

Yes , the sort of criticism he faces, would hurt anyone. But what is he doing about it? He doesn't even makes attempt to look fit !! He comes across as super lazy man. How long will " cool rapping bearded AB" look work?
He may be a good person but when crores are invested in an actor, people expect something

He is a good actor though and that is something he shouldn't be criticized about, but I don't understand why people are against his acting...He may not be a super actor like his dad or the other legendary actors but he is one of the few good actors we have now...He gets a bad rap because people expect him to be like his dad...

There are many "good actors" in BW. His acting is also overhyped . Give Guru to Randeep, Irfan, Nawaz or Ranveer and see what they do with the character!!

Him being big b's son is a huge amount of pressure, people expected him to be as gud as his dad, and he isn't, even today his dad is winning national awards and getting gud movies and abhishek still hasn't been able to match upto that, he is playing secondary characters in movies like dhoom


I know it's very unfair on abhishek, he doesn't hav to match upto his dad, but that's Wat the Media and industry hav always expected from him

Will I go and watch his movies Coz I am told he is a wonderful person in real life ? No
When it comes to ticket paying audience, we want something from a movie. No one will watch Drona Coz he has excellent sense of humor off screen. I would watch his movie promotions and skip movie.

Comparisons with BigB and high expectations have already vanished. People expect him to show decent efforts . Even in Housefull3, he seems like weakest link in cast. Plus he has Nargis opposite him , which makes things worst for him

Yaar ab tum housefull3 jaisi movies sign karoge toh koi kya kar sakta hai...

Anyway...this guy already had a lot of pressure on him being big b's son...Picking ridiculous scripts like drona and players obviously didn't help...

He looks really frustrated these days...
