Abhishek Bachchan Cites Toxic Environment as Reason for Social Media Retreat

Abhishek Bachchan is currently garnering praise for his latest release, 'Kaalidhar Laapata', which premiered on July 4th. The actor, known for his roles in films like 'Housefull 5', recently celebrated 25 years in the Hindi film industry.

In a recent interview with ETimes, Abhishek Bachchan discussed his decision to reduce his activity on social media. He now primarily uses these platforms to share professional updates about his film projects.

When asked about his reserved nature, Abhishek explained, "Publicly, yes. I don't express much off-screen. I express on screen. Do you want to know how I feel? Go watch my movie. I don't want to know what actors are like when they're not acting. I genuinely don't. I'm not interested. I'm interested in what they're doing on screen. Don't shatter that illusion for me."

Addressing his limited social media presence, he stated, "Partially yes, and also I feel currently, sadly, and I'm the first person who used to say if you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen but I just feel a lot of social media is just about baiting. It's not a place where you can have a healthy discussion. When it first started you could have a healthy debate or discourse with somebody. Now it's not that. I use it more professionally now."

Abhishek Bachchan is currently filming 'King', a project that his father, Amitabh Bachchan, announced on social media. The film reportedly features Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, and Deepika Padukone.
