Social Media Backlash
In the age of social media, opinions are freely expressed, leading to both praise and criticism. Recently, Abhishek Bachchan praised the motion poster of the Malayalam film Vaashi, starring Tovino Thomas and Keerthy Suresh. He tweeted his excitement, wishing good luck to the cast and crew, showcasing his support for the Malayalam film industry.
However, his supportive tweet caught the attention of Kamaal Rashid Khan (KRK), who is known for his controversial statements and trolling. KRK took a swipe at Abhishek, implying that Bollywood should also produce incredible films.
KRK’s Troll
KRK’s tweet read, “Bhai Kabhi Aap Bollywood Wale Bhi koi incredible film Bana Dena!” (Brother, someday, you Bollywood people should also make an incredible film). This comment didn’t sit well with many fans, who quickly came to Abhishek’s defense online.
Abhishek’s Witty Comeback
Not one to back down, Abhishek responded to KRK’s jibe with a clever retort: “Prayaas karenge. Aapne banai thi na….. deshdrohi.” (We will try. You had made one… Deshdrohi). This reference to KRK’s own film, which was critically panned and performed poorly at the box office, added a layer of sass to his reply.
KRK’s Continued Provocation
KRK didn’t stop there. He shot back, claiming, “Hahaha! Meri film ke budget (1.5Cr) se zyada toh aap logo ke makeup man ka budget hota hai. 2nd film aap Bollywood walon ne banane nahi di. Nahi toh blockbuster bhi banakar dikha deta!” (Your makeup artist’s budget is much more than my film’s budget. You Bollywood folks didn’t let me make my second film; otherwise, I would have made a blockbuster too.)
The Final Word
Abhishek kept his composure and replied subtly, “Chaliye, aap bhi koshish kijiye. Asha karte hain ki is sangharsh me aap safal hon.” (You too keep trying. I hope you find success in this struggle.) This reply showcases not just his wit but also his ability to handle online trolls with grace.
Conclusion
Abhishek Bachchan’s exchange with KRK highlights the dynamics of celebrity interactions in the age of social media. It also underscores the importance of supporting diverse cinema while responding to criticism with humor and intellect.
