Abhishek Bachchan has taken to Twitter to reply to a troll who attempted to shame his career. On Wednesday, 30 September, as part of the Unlock 5 guidelines, the government gave the green signal to cinema halls, theatres and multiplexes, which will be allowed to operate "with up to 50 per cent seating capacity."
Reacting to the announcement Abhishek tweeted, "The best news of the week". This comment led to a user asking him, "But aren't you still gonna be jobless?"
The actor had a perfect comeback. He replied, "That, alas, is in your (the audiences) hand. If you don’t like our work, we won’t get our next job. So we work to the best of our abilities and hope and pray for the best".
Abhishek also responded to another user, who took a dig at the actor citing the 2008 superhero film Drona.
When asked how did he get movies after Drona, Abhishek responded: "I didn't. Was dropped from a few films and it was very difficult to get cast. But we live in hope and keep trying, hoping and working towards our goals. You have to get up every day and fight for your place under the sun. Nothing in life comes easy."
