Abhishek Bachchan made a great comeback to the big screen with Anurag Kashyap‘s recent flick Manmarziyaan. While his, his co-stars Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal‘s performances were highly appreciated, the movie did not do that well in terms of numbers and the collection dropped down on week 2 of its running.
While trolls don’t really need a reason to troll, one Twitter user took the news of Manmarziyaan’s plummeting box office collection to point out how Bollywood should be getting rid of Nepotism. As with most trolls, this Twitter user must have been quite smug with his careless statement, but little did he know that his tweet would actually get a reply from Jr.Bachchan himself. In his usual style, Abhishek kept it classy and replied as swiftly and kindly as one could.
Take a look at the twitter exchange.
#Manmarziyaan tanked at box-office, once again proving @juniorbachchan to be legend with amazing ability to make good film a flop! Kudos to his abilities, not many have it!
It time to end #nepotism and for #StarKids to start #Vadapav stall..lol! #Stree proves #TalentCounts!! pic.twitter.com/mFdJTZ0ERA— drharshavardhankale (@DrHarshKale) September 25, 2018
With all due respect kind sir, I would expect an esteemed doctor such as yourself to study all the facts and figures before proclaiming anything. I certainly hope you do so with your patients. Learn the economics of the film before you tweet something that will embarrass you. ?

But, the troll didn’t back down.
Ha ha! You wish Mr. Bachchan Jr! But I don’t see any reason to be embarrassed! In fact actors who give consecutive 16 (+1 now) flops in a row should be!
I noted my observations vigorously as “nepotism rocks” in your industry. You may be a good human being, but a terrible actor!— drharshavardhankale (@DrHarshKale) September 26, 2018
Neither did Jr.Bachchan and he shut down the twitter user like a #Boss.
And for your kind information ( and I’m sure all vada pav stall owners will agree) there is great dignity in owning and running a vada pav stall. It’s called dignity of labour. Try not to be so patronising about another professional. We are all doing our best.

And to end with…. One of the actors in the immensely entertaining Stree happens to be a “star kid”. Have a good day and here’s hoping you spend more time on being the best doctor you can be instead of trying to be and industry analyst! Coz as you said #TalentCounts

You tell ’em, Abhishek.
It’s funny how in their rush to pull down someone, they pull down and offend an entire section even without giving it a thought.
you know what they say, haters gonna hate, potatoes gonna potate.
No matter what the haters say, we would love to see more of Jr. Bachchan on-screen.
