Mumbai: Actor Abhishek Bachchan, who is always subjected to criticism, recently shared that he wants to make everyone happy and in turn gets disappointed often.
The actor also revealed that he pays more attention to negative things than positive.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, the actor said, “Yes. Time teaches you that sometimes you can be foolish. Don’t be so idealistic. But I don’t ever want to let go of that. The day I say yaa I can’t make everyone happy, this is me take it or leave it, for film actor it’s very arrogant and it will be the death of you. There will be no more desire to improve. I understand that it’s a lot more challenging than you say it.”
Recalling his wife, Aishwarya Rai’s advice on dealing with negativity, the actor said, “But 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. And 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.”
On the work front, Abhishek completed 25 years as an actor on June 30, this year.
He made his Bollywood debut with ‘Refugee’ opposite Kareena Kapoor in 2000.
While talking about his journey in the industry, Abhishek, was quoted as saying by HT, “Hopefully, there’s been a fair share of improvement in these 25 years. As an actor, I definitely feel a lot more comfortable than I was when I first started. As a person, having lived and experienced that much more, obviously you’re better equipped to handle situations. and that’s all that matters. As an actor, you want to just keep trying to improve with every film and every opportunity that you get, and I hope I’ve managed to do that.”
