Recently the actor is also making waves with his heartfelt performance in Shoojit Sircar’s I Want To Talk. While the film is winning hearts, the actor has been dealing with negativity surrounding rumours about his personal life.
Abhishek Bachchan recently shared his approach to dealing with negativity surrounding his personal affairs, especially his alleged divorce from Aishwarya Rai. Well, Abhishek isn’t letting any of that bring him down. The I Want To Talk actor sat for a candid chat with ETimes discussing how he handles these things. Emphasising the need to stick to one’s core values, Abhishek said:

“Hindi mein ek shabd hai ‘dhridhta’. Somewhere, who you are as a person shouldn’t change. Your fundamentals should change. You have to learn to adapt and evolve or you will be left behind your fundamental values shouldn't change. So, I still do believe that ‘jab bura apni buraai na chhode toh accha apni acchai kyun chhode?’ I cannot change the person I am. 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, what are your core values, shouldn’t change.”
Further in the interview, Abhishek shared his perspective of staying grounded in his beliefs and values despite future challenges. He said:
“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.”
When asked about his mantra of finding hope in darkness, Abhishek explained that the key to hope is to stay optimistic, even when life feels overwhelming. Rather than losing hope, it’s more important to hold on to that one thin silver lining and wait for obstacles to clear up. The actor explained:
“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.”
A few days ago, Abhishek recalled a moment from the pandemic days when he had a moment of reflection thanks to his daughter, Aaradhya. A book she was reading at that time, described ‘help’ as the most courageous word in the world because it shows a willingness to move forward and face challenges, no matter the situation.
