Abhishek Bachchan, who is gearing up for his upcoming movie Kaalidhar Laapata, frequently deals with criticism and backlash for several different reasons. The actor recently recalled a particular advice that the actress and his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, had shared with him to deal with the negativity.
During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Abhishek said that he pays more attention to the negativity and that makes him overthink too.
The actor said, “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.”
Abhishek then recalled Aishwarya’s advice and added, “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.”
However, Abhishek also deals with frequent rumours about his and Aishwarya’s divorce. He has also recently set the records straight in an interview with ETimes, claiming that such comments affect him the most.
Abhishek said, “Now these things hurt. You do not live my life. You do not know how it feels to read all this. When you have a family, these things start affecting you. No matter how strong that person is, words have an impact. Even if we clarify something, people take it in the wrong sense because negative news sells.”
For the unversed, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai tied the knot in a grand wedding ceremony on April 20, 2007. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, on November 16, 2011.
Meanwhile, Abhishek reunites with Nimrat Kaur in the upcoming film, Kaalidhar Laapata. The film also stars Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in the key role. Directed by Madhumita Sundararaman, Kaalidhar Laapata is set to start streaming on Zee5 from July 4.
