Abhishek Bachchan aka Junior Bachchan, who made his acting unveiling in the year 2000 with JP Dutta’s Refugee, went on to amaze one and all with his solid acting ability in films like Bunty Aur Babli, Bluffmaster, Dostana, Dhoom 2, Guru and Manmarziyaan amid others. But while he’s one of the most standard actors and also one of the optimum ones, the actor has often been imperilled to trolling.
Whether it’s the fact that he’s the son of Bollywood Shahenshah Amitabh Bachchan or the fact that he’s married to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan or he’s had a few box office failures – the hobgoblins have always found ways to remark on Abhishek, his life and his cinema career.
But he’s not the one to take it lying down and rightly so! There are frequent incidents when Abhishek turned down trolls like a boss handling them with pure sympathy and deference. With just the right humour and the might of words, he’s succeeded to put quite a few trolls in place.
As the actor turns a year older, here’s looking at 4 times when Abhishek Bachchan had just the right replies for trolls proving he’s the one you don’t clutter with!
# Once a troll decided to speak about Abhishek Bachchan’s celeb status and wrote, ‘Big B paid for Aftab Shivdasani’s ticket so that Abhishek Bachchan isn’t the least known celebrity in the stadium.’
But trust Abhishek to take everything in his step! He retorted with ‘haha. Good try!’ Least known celebrity?’ Isn’t that a bit of a contradiction? Chalo at least you think I’m worthy of a tweet.’

# When someone assumed it’s okay to bring his daughter Aaradhya in a pun about his films not working at the box office, Abhishek knew just the right words to put the troll in place. He also added that it’s okay if the said person doesn’t like his work but it’s definitely not cool to bring his daughter into it.
@Mayankaryan084 you feeling better about yourself now??? Good! Glad to have been of service. Now go back to the hole you crawled out of.

# When a troll questioned if Aaradhya Bachchan goes to a school adding that she isn’t having a normal childhood, Abhishek gave it back to her with due respect. The tweet had read ’@juniorbachchan, is ur child not going to school? I do wonder what school gives permission to take an out a kid when u like to go a trip with mom. Or are u guys going for beauty without brains. Always hand in hand with an arrogant mom. Not having a normal childhood.’
Ma’am, as far as I know… Most schools are shut for the week-end. She goes to school on the weekdays. Maybe you should try it considering you spelling in your tweet.

# When a random troll remarked on Abhishek living with his parents Jaya Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan, the actor proved with his response that he’s definitely not the one to mess with. The tweet read as, ‘Don’t feel bad about your life. Just remember @juniorbachchan still lives with his parents. Keep hustling everyone!’
To which Abhishek had written, ‘Yes! And it’s the proudest moment for me to be able to be there for them, as they have for me. Try it sometime, you might feel better about yourself.’
Yes! And it’s the proudest moment for me to be able to be there for them, as they have for me. Try it sometime, you might feel better about yourself.
