Actor Abhishek Bachchan, in an interview with Bollywood Bubble, said that he had a ‘middle-class and normal upbringing’. He said that this is the reason he doesn’t complain about anything because he feels ‘awkward’ doing so. Abhishek also made it clear that he doesn’t feel entitled and have always wanted to get things on his ‘merit’.
“At the end of the day, when the audience is in that theatre, they’re going to be watching you. They’ve bought a ticket to your film. If they want to see Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, or Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, they’ll buy a ticket to their movies, why would they come to my movies?” he said.
He also revealed that his mother Jaya Bachchan played a huge role in creating a ‘normal life’ for him and his sister. Abhishek admitted that he does like the validation he receives.
“We are all here to entertain the audiences. We are here because a part of us, apart from creative satisfaction, also want to hear the applause. You want to get the pat on the back saying, Job well done. That’s a large part of being an actor. It’s a wonderful thing. Why do we try and stay away from it in our false attempt at being humble? I love it when the films that I work in do well. I love it when the audience gives me positive feedback. I am concerned when my films don’t do well. I am concerned if I don’t get good feedback for my work. I learn from it,” he added.
Abhishek Bachchan was last seen in ‘The Big Bull’.
