Abhishek Bachchan on facing flak at start of his career

Abhishek Bachchan hasn’t had an easy ride since his debut in 2000. He’s had many a flop but he’s now opened up about how he dealt with failure early on.

“Failing publicly is humiliating and sometimes, people take pleasure in seeing you fail. I faced a lot of hardships at the beginning of my career — I would get thrown out of films, replaced, I wouldn’t be paid what was contracted. I slowly realised that it’s a business and you just have to pull up your socks and keep carrying on,” said the actor, as quoted by Hindustan Times.

Bachchan also said that he wasn’t scared of bad reviews, “It destroys me and I want it to destroy me. I would stick up my movie reviews on my bathroom mirror and highlight all the portions that said how bad I was… I would see my films almost every day. I am not a megalomaniac, I do it for educational purposes”.

Bachchan had a two year gap before his last release ‘Manmarziyaan’ which saw him collaborate with Anurag Kashyap for the first time.
