Abhishek Bachchan Acknowledges Critics, Recalls Thinking They Didn’t Understand His Work; Says, ” I Was Approaching It The Wrong Way”

Abhishek Bachchan recently reflected on how his understanding of critics has evolved over the years. He shared that, over time, he realised that critics are not his enemies but rather a valuable part of his growth. Bachchan acknowledged that criticism has played a crucial role in shaping his career.

Abhishek Bachchan Acknowledges Critics Became Guides In His Career

At the Critics’ Choice Awards (CCA) 2026, Abhishek stated, as reported by ANI, “I think we often misunderstand criticism. We tend to see it as something negative, but it shouldn’t be. I work in a commercial art form, and if I expect people to spend their time and money on my films, then I am answerable to them. I am open to scrutiny, judgment, and criticism.”

He elaborated on his journey, saying, “Early in my career, I didn’t always see it this way. Like many actors, I believed everything would turn out perfectly. But reality hits hard. I went through phases of denial, feeling critics didn’t understand my work or weren’t qualified to judge it. Over time, I realised I was approaching it the wrong way.”

Abhishek added, “Now, I see critics as guides, not opponents. They understand the craft. If I believe I know how to drive, why not listen, learn, and improve? Their feedback has helped shape my journey as an actor. Only a fool would ignore that.”
