People stop taking calls if you deliver a flop, says Bachchan Jr 

It doesn’t matter whose child you are, if you deliver a flop, filmmakers stop taking your calls, says Abhishek Bachchan, the son of Indian cinematic icon Amitabh Bachchan.

“I’ve completed 16 years in the industry and it has been a mix of highs and lows. There has been a tremendous learning and I’m still hungry to do a lot more. It’s been a great journey and it makes me happy and proud that I’m a part of this industry.

The low phase that I went through, I think, was necessary. It teaches you a lot. I believe there is no success without failure. It keeps you grounded and makes you appreciate things,” Abhishek said, when asked about his time in the industry.

Abhishek says he is not even affected by trolls on social media, which have often hit out at him for his movie choices. “If you are present on a social platform, you are available to everything on it and that’s fair. It’s all in jest and for fun. I just feel that once in a while, it’s nice to give back to them some of their own medicine. And it’s fun,” he said.

However, he said, he stops being interactive when trolls cross a line. “The minute they stop being witty about it and start getting abusive, there’s no more fun and you stop. That’s it, but I enjoy it,” he added.
