Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, who has been criticised for his acting skills quite a few times, opened up about an incident when he was slapped by a woman outside a cinema hall. Amid all the debates over nepotism, the 42-year-old actor shared his experience trying to describe the pressure on star kids.
During a conversation at the Jagran Film Summit, the Manmarziyaan actor narrated the incident when he was slapped by a woman during the screening of Shararat in 2002. The woman allegedly smacked him for “embarrassing” his family.

“It was a tough time. I had once gone to Gaiety Galaxy to see how my film (Shararat) was doing; a lady came out and slapped me and said you’re embarrassing your family’s name, stop acting. Thankfully, I’m able to laugh about it today, but at that point, it was not a very good feeling,” the actor said.
Abhishek Bachchan has often been trolled on social media as he gets slammed for his performances and even for living with his parents.
Recently, a Twitter user tried to establish that Manmaarziyaan suffered at the Box Office because of Abhishek Bachchan. He went on to suggest that star kids should open vada pav stalls.
“#Manmarziyaan tanked at box-office, once again proving @juniorbachchan to be legend with amazing ability to make good film a flop! Kudos to his abilities, not many have it! It time to end #nepotism and for #StarKids to start #Vadapav stall..lol! #Stree proves #TalentCounts!” the tweet read.

The Dhoom actor, who has schooled such trolls on social media previously, did not let this go. Bachchan took to Twitter and gave him a befitted reply. “With all due respect kind sir, I would expect an esteemed doctor such as yourself to study all the facts and figures before proclaiming anything. I certainly hope you do so with your patients. Learn the economics of the film before you tweet something that will embarrass you,” he wrote in his tweet.

In his follow-up tweet, he wrote, “And for your kind information ( and I’m sure all vada pav stall owners will agree) there is great dignity in owning and running a vada pav stall. It’s called dignity of labour. Try not to be so patronising about another professional. We are all doing our best.”
