Abhishek Bachchan reveals how he tackles negativity, ‘Cannot change the person I am’
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai are in the news due to their separation rumours. Abhishek is grabbing headlines for his performance in Shoojit Sircar’s I Want To Talk and has been facing negativity due to his divorce rumours. The actor has finally broken his silence on handling the negativity around him.
In an interview with Etimes, Abhishek Bachchan said, ‘Hindi mein ek shabd hai, ‘dhridhta’. Somewhere, who are you as a person, what are you as a person shouldn’t change? Your fundamentals shouldn’t change. You have to learn to adapt and evolve or you will be left behind but your fundamental values shouldn’t change. So, I still do believe that ‘jab bura apni buraai na chhode toh accha apni acchai kyun chhode?’ (If the bad doesn’t stop being bad, why should the good stop being good). I cannot change the person I am’.
He added saying, ‘I am a very positive person and you cannot concentrate on the negatives. When you concentrate on the negatives, it’s going to overwhelm you. Who are you as a person, and what are your core values, shouldn’t change. Also, as a man, who are you? What are you standing for? If I’m going to be a leaf in the wind, people will say he’s not a solid person. Hence, some things in me don’t change’.
Abhishek also spoke about mantra for finding optimism during difficult times. He said, ‘When you see a silver lining on the cloud, or a ray of sunshine, hold on to it. Because that will give you the impetus, inspiration, and reason to carry on in life. It’s very easy as people to get swallowed by darkness and negativity… no matter how tough the obstacle may be, find the ray of hope’.
Abhishek has been winning hearts with his exceptional performance in the recent release, I Want To Talk. Well, the film is helmed by Shoojit Sircar and stars Ahliya Bamroo and Johnny Lever in key roles.
