31 Oct - Abhishek Bachchan has recently turned to social media to slam the notion that his win at the FilmFare Awards was nothing more than a result of an aggressive PR push, and denied that his victory was a bought one.

The actor recently gave his response, after an X-user claiming to be an editor and a journalist questioned his win and made the allegation, saying that Abhishek won for a movie that no one saw apart for a few paid reviewers.

The actor responded, "Just 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."

"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"," he added.

When the same user said that it was a subjective opinion and that no malice was intended, he responded, "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," he added.
