Abhishek Bachchan shuts down claims of buying awards and using aggressive PR after winning for I Want to Talk. The actor emphasizes hard work and dedication.
Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan recently responded to claims suggesting that aggressive PR and bought awards helped him remain relevant in the industry. The debate sparked online after the actor won the Best Actor in a Leading Role (Male) award for his performance in “I Want to Talk.”
Trade Analyst Questions Abhishek Bachchan’s Award
A trade analyst took to social media, writing:
“As much as he’s an affable guy, professionally #AbhishekBachchan is the prime example of how buying awards and aggressive PR pushes can keep you relevant… even if you don’t have a single SOLO blockbuster in your career. He won an award for #IWantToTalk this year… a film which no one saw apart from a few PAID reviewers. There are far better actors than him who deserve more recognition, work, appreciation & awards… but alas! They don’t have PR smarts & money.”
As much as he’s an affable guy, I hate to say that professionally #AbhishekBachchan is the prime example of how buying awards and aggressive PR pushes can keep you relevant… even if you don’t have a single SOLO blockbuster in your career.

Abhishek Bachchan’s Firm Response
Abhishek Bachchan responded on X (formerly Twitter), firmly addressing the allegations:
“Just to set the record straight. Never has any award been bought or aggressive PR been done by me. Just hard work, blood, sweat and tears. But, doubt you’ll believe anything I say or write. So… best way to shut you up is by working even harder so that you don’t ever doubt any achievement that will happen in the future, again. I will prove you wrong! With all due respect and ‘affability.'”
The trade analyst later clarified, stating that his comments were a subjective opinion and that no malice was intended:
“Have ALWAYS written laudatory things about your conduct and many a time about your films/acting too, sir… As for awards, I won’t hold brief for them. Genuinely wish to see you more in mainstream movies in prominent roles. Best, always.”
