Abhishek Bachchan is no stranger to trolls, and he is known for often giving them befitting, yet polite replies. Recently, Abhishek Bachchan objected to a tweet by a film exhibitor that praised Akshay Kumar for finishing off the shoot of a film in a short time, despite the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. A section of Netizens wrongly assumed Abhishek was taking a dig at Akshay Kumar, and trolled him for mocking Akshay Kumar’s hard work. Abhishek Bachchan hit back with polite replies, and made his stand clear.
Film Exhibitor Akshaye Rathi’s tweet read, “Amazing how @akshaykumar finishes off the shoot of an entire film in the amount of time that other stars take to learn a skill which they need to act out in a small scene or so! And more often than not, his film turns out to be the bigger hit! More actors need to ‘plan' better." Replying to this, Abhishek Bachchan wrote, “Not fair! Each to their own. Different people are motivated by different things. And have a different pace at doing things."
While Abhishek Bachchan was only trying to put forth his views, and was in no way mocking Akshay Kumar, trolls went on to grill Abhishek. One social media user wrote, "He's himself product of nepotism, aur ye Akshay Kumar ke hardwork ko judge karega." Replying to this, Abhishek hit back and tweeted, "Koi bhi judge nahin kar raha bhai Saab. Akki bhaiya ki work ethic or professionalism Kabil-e-tareef hai (No one is judging Akshay Kumar, Sir. Akshay's work ethic or professionalism is praiseworthy.)"
Not fair! Each to their own. Different people are motivated by different things. And have a different pace at doing things.

Yet another troll wrote, “Unlike many other actors, Abhishek Bachchan loves to indulge in cheap jibes at other people's success.Abhishek passes an insulting/mocking remark on Akshay, doesn't acknowledge his punctuality, discipline, hard work & diligence. His comment implies that Akki is motivated by money!" Abhishek replied to this by tweeting that the social media user is misrepresenting his tweet, and that they should stop being so negative.
Not at all!!! You are sorely mistaken and misunderstanding and misrepresenting my tweet. Please don’t!! Read it again. And stop being so negative.

If you refer to his 1st tweet, he mockingly commented on how actors need to “plan” better and increase their output. I merely said people all work at different paces. That doesn’t make them right or wrong. Wasn’t looking for any appreciation. Was indulging in dialogue.
