Abhishek Bachchan Responds Calmly to Accusation of Buying Awards

On October 29, 2025, a journalist accused Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan of buying an award for his exceptional performance in the film "I Want To Talk". However, Bachchan responded to the allegation in a composed manner, stating that he has never paid for any awards.

This incident is the latest in a growing trend of celebrities being targeted by online trolls and facing unsubstantiated accusations. A few months ago, a self-proclaimed Hindi film critic and journalist from Pakistan made viral, untrue, and bizarre claims about actress Celina Jaitly and her relations with her mentor Feroz Khan and his son Fardeen. Celina's response to the harassment and fake claims from Pakistan went viral and garnered support from millions of Twitterati, including Pakistani nationals.

Speaking exclusively on the troll culture, Abhishek Bachchan advised fellow celebrities to avoid confrontations with trolls. He said, "Anonymity behind a computer gives the trolls a false sense of power. The best is to ignore them. When you respond, you have given them the attention they seek." Bachchan further added that he normally avoids such confrontations, but when a serious allegation is made, he patiently provides his point of view to convince the troll.

The article highlights the challenges faced by celebrities in the digital age, where they are routinely targeted for crimes they have not committed. While the legal recourse may be limited in some cases, as seen with Celina Jaitly, the stars are learning to navigate this landscape by staying calm and not giving in to the trolls' demands for attention.
