Abhishek Bachchan‘s latest film ‘I Want To Talk’ has just hit the marquee and it speaks about the positivity of a man against all odds. The film is based on Arjun Sen’s life who is a cancer survivor and a marketing genius. In his personal life though, Abhishek himself is filled with positivity and that’s how he also found relatability to the character. He’s been in the industry for 24 years now and is a public figure, which also involves sometimes too many opinions, speculations and trolling as well on social media.

But, despite all the negativity around him, the core of him hasn’t changed.
During an exclusive chat with ETimes, when we ask him about it, the ‘Guru’ actor says, “Hindi mein ek shabd hai, ‘dhridhta’. Somewhere, who are you as a person, what are you as a person shouldn’t change. Your fundamentals shouldn’t change. You have to learn to adapt and evolve or you will be left behind but your fundamental values shouldn’t change. So, I still do believe that ‘jab bura apni buraai na chhode toh accha apni acchai kyun chhode?’ (If the bad doesn’t stop being bad, why should the good stop being good). I cannot change the person I am. I am a very positive person and you cannot concentrate on the negatives. When you concentrate on the negatives, it’s going to overwhelm you. Who are you as a person, what are your core values, shouldn’t change”
As a man, Abhishek truly believes, in holding on to his true self. “Also, as a man, who are you? What are you standing for? If I’m going to be a leaf in wind, people will say he’s not a solid person. Hence, some things in me don’t change. “

He further added how that also reflects in ‘I Want to Talk’ by Shoojit Sircar. He added, “When you see a silver lining on the cloud, or ray of sunshine, hold on to it. Because that will give you the impetus, inspiration and reason to carry on in life. It’s very easy as people to get swallowed by darkness and negativity. And I believe, that’s a beautiful message in the film. I can make the world’s most emotional tragedy with this film. And I’d probably do that. But somone like Shoojit Da, has made the most happy film which makes people chuckle all through. That’s the learning. That no matter how tough the obstacle may be, find the ray of hope.”
