Abhishek’s response highlights even more that made by his father, Amitabh Bachchan, earlier this week. Big B blog entry with a threat phrased in a Hindi sentence against a hater who said the actor should “die from COVID-19” has gone viral – and has been widely greeted with shock and dismay.
Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek were admitted to Nanavati hospital on July 11 after testing positive for COVID-19. Abhishek’s wife, Aishwarya, who also tested positive, stayed in the hospital for a few days and was discharged on July 27 with their eight year old daughter.
Abhishek Bachchan is often targeted by trolls who ridicule his career choices and his star lineage. In 2018, his response to a troll who mocked him for living with his parents went viral.
Yes! And it’s the proudest moment for me to be able to be there for them, like they have for me. Try it sometimes, you might feel better about yourself.

It was at this point that Abhishek was called “unemployed”. But the troll should have known better.
Nah! To disagree. Someone who loves to do whatever he does.
