Abhishek Bachchan recalls time when no one came to take his autograph: ‘You swallow that and keep going'
Abhishek Bachchan says 'actors are fragile people'
In the interview, Abhishek Bachchan confessed that actors are 'very fragile people'. They pretend to be strong on the exterior, but actually, on the inside, they are like scared children who always seek validation. The Sarkar further added that every actor is scared of going unrecognised when they step out somewhere. He hopes that every actor should get to experience both, and that is when one will learn to value each of them.
'I've walked into rooms where nobody even turns and looks at you. I've walked into a hotel lobby, and it didn't make a difference. I expected it to make a difference because I'm a film star…' added Bachchan. He further continued that when an actor walks into a hotel lobby, they expect someone will come for an autograph, and then, when nobody comes, you have to swallow that and continue.
Talking about the time after Dhoom came out, Abhishek recalled the Marriott lobby coming to a standstill. 'You only value that because you've been on the other end. And because you've been on the other end, you never want to go back there, so you work even harder… I say this often: The foundation stone of success is laid on the ground of failure.'
What did Hrithik Roshan tell Abhishek Bachchan?
Hrithik Roshan told Abhishek Bachchan something the same night when the Marriott lobby came to a standstill. It has stayed with Abhishek till now. Hrithik hugged him and said, 'Till now it was nothing, your problems start now. Now you have something to lose.'

New Delhi: Abhishek Bachchan, who's currently promoting his film Kaalidhar Laapata, opened up about his family dynamics in a recent interview. What's Happening Abhishek Bachchan's family dynamics are always under public scrutiny. During the promotions of his film, Abhishek Bachchan opened up how his family functions during an interview with Zoom. He also said that how he prioritises solitude as an actor. Though he belongs to an actor's family, he said they find their solitude amid the family gatherings. When asked about the dynamics at home, he shared an insightful take: "It's funny. My household is very funny, and we are all actors. We all like to hang out together, and then suddenly everyone just goes back to their own personal spaces." He continued, "That comes naturally because for actors it is important to spend time with yourself and get to know yourself. Self-discovery is something that we rarely do. It's essential, but I would never want to be a loner." Abhishek called himself a people person. "I have my moments when I need my solitude. It is very important and essential for an actor. But not for a longer time. I need someone to talk to." Abhishek Bachchan's Married Life Abhishek married Aishwarya in a grand ceremony in 2007. They welcomed their daughter Aaradhya in 2011.

'I'm getting re-married too?': When Abhishek Bachchan reacted sharply to divorce rumours with Aishwarya Rai
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan 's love story has always been one of Bollywood's most cherished tales. Their relationship began blossoming in the mid-2000s when they starred together in Muzaffar Ali's 'Umrao Jaan' (2006). Their bond grew even stronger while working simultaneously on 'Dhoom 2', which was shot around the same period. What started as quiet affection soon turned into deep love, leading to their grand wedding in 2007. Since then, the couple has remained one of the industry's most adored pairs, often making public appearances hand-in-hand and standing by each other's side through thick and thin. Although fans love them dearly, there have been many rumours over the years about trouble in their marriage. Some even went as far as claiming the couple was getting divorced. The tweet that silenced gossip mills Back in 2016, Abhishek Bachchan decided he had heard enough. After persistent buzz about his supposed separation from Aishwarya , the actor took to Twitter (now X) to firmly set the record straight. With his trademark humour, he quashed the rumours in style. He wrote, 'Ok.... So I believe I'm getting divorced. Thanks for letting me know! Will you let me know when I'm getting re-married too? Thanks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo #muppets' His witty yet sharp response quickly went viral. Fans praised Abhishek for tackling the rumours with such grace and humour, and the post served as a much-needed reality check for gossipmongers. 'It's very upsetting. You're not me, you don't live my life' In a more recent interview with ETimes, Abhishek opened up about how these rumours really affect him and his family. Speaking honestly, he said that in the past, he was able to brush off false stories about himself. But now that he has a family, it's different. 'It's very upsetting. You're not me, you don't live my life,' he shared, showing just how much these careless words can hurt. The 'Guru' actor also pointed out how trying to set things right often feels useless. He said, 'It's so convenient to sit anonymously behind a computer screen and write the nastiest things. You do realise you're hurting somebody. No matter how thick-skinned they are, it affects them. How would you like it if somebody did that to you?'
