Abhishek Bachchan recalls Aishwarya Rai`s best advice
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai are one of those actors who have seen an amazing graph in their careers. However, despite their on-screen excellence, the couple frequently was the target of negativity amid their divorce rumours.
The two have shushed the rumours in their own style. While Abhishek gives a sassy response, Aishwarya slays at Cannes, flaunting her sindoor (vermilion).
In his recent interview, the Housefull 5 actor opened up on how trolls bother him, reading critical reviews, and his wife`s best advice on dealing with negativity.

The actor sat down for a candid chat with Anupama Chopra for her The Hollywood Reporter YouTube channel. He spoke about many things, including how he wants people to love him and his desire to make everyone happy.
When asked if he still carries on that trait, he said, "Yes. Time teaches you that sometimes you can be foolish. Don`t be so idealistic. But I don`t ever want to let go of that."

"The day I say, `Yeah, I can`t make everyone happy; this is me, take it or leave it,` as a film actor, it`s very arrogant, and it will be the death of you." There will be no more desire to improve. I understand that it`s a lot more challenging than you say it is," he added.
"But I still want to make everyone happy. I still pay attention to all the negative reviews and anybody who says negative things. "Sadly, as human nature pays more attention to negativity than positivity," he continued, and recalled his wife`s best advice, "And Aishwarya always said, `It’s water off a duck`s back.`" Why are you concentrating on the negative stuff? Concentrate on the positive; that so much outweighs anything else."
On the work front
Abhishek Bachchan was recently seen in a multi-starrer comedy franchise, Housefull 5. The movie also starred Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Dino Morea, Sonam Bajwa, and Jacqueline Fernandez, among others.
The film garnered mixed reviews and wasn`t received as well as the first two instalments of the franchise.
His next project is Kaalidhar Laapataa, a slice-of-life film that speaks about an old man who wants to relive life for himself. Kaalidhar Laapataa will stream on July 4 on Zee5.
