Abhishek Bachchan seems to be taking the adage 'like father, like son' a bit too seriously. AB's baby is all set to don the tag of the new angry, young man. While, Pa, Amitabh Bachchan, was an angry, young man on reel, Abhi has taken it a tad ahead. Recently, he slapped a spot boy on the sets of Goldie Behl's Drona. No, the reason wasn't as grave as a delayed glass of juice, but the unfortunate spot boy happened to be around when Abhi was feeling frustrated. Frustration was reason enough for the young Bachchan to slap the boy. Of course, Big B has come to the rescue of sonny boy via his blog, stating that these are all media created rumours.
Now that star tantrums are being discussed, it will be rather unfair on the first family of Bollywood to be the lone targets. While we do not need to remind you of the bad boy of media, Salman Khan and his fiery temper, the Virar Ka Chokra, Govinda too is quite notorious when it comes to losing his cool. During the shooting of a song sequence for his upcoming film, Money Hai Toh Honey Hai, Chi Chi slapped an 'errant' onlooker.
While the aforementioned can be tagged as work-related stress, there is Rakhi Sawant who'll just do anything to get noticed. Even slap her boy friend in full view of the media. On Valentine's Day, when Abhishek Awasthi came to apologize to the 'wronged' Rakhi, she gave him a tight slap. Of course, all the news channels did cover it. Gone are the days of being affable to people. Star power lies in the fact that you can kill and get away with it, quite literally.
