Just hard work, blood, sweat and tears: Abhishek Bachchan rejects claim of buying Filmfare Award, slams X user for tarnishing hard work

Abhishek Bachchan responds to claims he bought his Filmfare Award, defending his 25-year career of "hard work, blood, sweat and tears" against online allegations.

"Never has any award been bought or aggressive PR been done by me. Just hard work, blood, sweat and tears. - Abhishek Bachchan"

Mumbai, October 29

Actor Abhishek Bachchan has called out the claims about "buying" his awards, strongly shutting down the speculations.

In response to an X user who claimed that Abhishek Bachchan engaged in "aggressive PR pushes" and bought his recent Filmfare Award, the actor did make sure to set the record straight.

"Never has any award been bought or aggressive PR been done by me . Just hard work, blood, sweat and tears. But, doubt you'll believe anything I say or write. So.... Best way to shut you up is by working even harder so that you don't ever doubt any achievement that will happen in the future, again. I will prove you wrong! With all due respect and affability," Abhishek responded.

As the user clarified his comments, stating that it was a "subjective opinion" and had no intended malice towards the actor, Abhishek criticised the former for tarnishing his work.

"Accusing and alleging that I "buy" awards and do "aggressive PR pushes, to stay relevant" seems pretty personal to me, sir. Not fair to so easily tarnish, and that too incorrectly and frivolously, someone's hard work for over 25 years. Expect a great degree of responsibility from an editor and journalist. Which I am sad to note, you haven't displayed in this case. Thank you for your laudatory writings about my conduct and work on occasion. Will work towards making that a constant for you," the 'I Want To Talk' actor said.

Fans were quick to react as many rushed to the comment section and showed support for Abhishek Bachchan and his cinematic achievements.

In a long-awaited milestone, Abhishek took home his first-ever Best Actor (Male) Award at the 70th Filmfare Awards 2025. He won the award for his performance in Shoojit Sircar's 'I Want To Talk'.

The film revolves around the story of Arjun Sen, a Bengali man chasing the American dream, who learns that he has just 100 days to live. It follows his emotional attempt to reconnect with his estranged seven-year-old daughter.

People throw baseless allegations so easily these days. If you've seen his work in Guru, Yuva, and now this film, you know he's earned every award through pure talent and dedication.

While I support Abhishek, I do think Filmfare awards have had questionable credibility in the past. However, his response was classy and professional. He handled it well.

️25 years in the industry and still having to prove himself! This is why our film industry needs more respect for artists. Bachchan family has always maintained dignity through all criticism.

The way he responded shows his upbringing and values. Instead of getting angry, he's channeling it into working harder. That's the Bachchan legacy for you! ❤️
