On the newest episode of her daughter Navya Naveli Nanda’s podcast, What the Hell Navya, Shweta Bachchan vented out her frustrations about how her brother, actor Abhishek Bachchan, has been mercilessly trolled for twenty years. She stated that evaluating him to his larger-than-life father Amitabh Bachchan, is unfair, and that whereas she will be able to let the trolling slide when it’s directed at different members of her household, her ‘blood boils’ when her brother has to undergo via it.

Abhishek has developed a fame for wittily responding to trolls, and has stated in interviews that it’s wholesome to snicker at your self. The predominant theme of the latest episode of Navya’s podcast was the Bachchan household’s relationship with the media, and what it’s wish to develop up as public figures.

Shweta stated, “That’s the only thing that drives me mad. It’s nasty. They attack him all the time, and it’s really upsetting. That really boils my blood, and I don’t care about any of this that is bothering you guys, but this really upsets me. I don’t like it when they do it to him, because you know what? It’s not fair. It really bugs me. Maybe because he’s my younger brother… I don’t feel it for nana (Amitabh Bachchan), but I feel it for mamu (Abhishek), because he is constantly compared to something that is very incomparable. How do expect anyone to match up? That can’t be your whole life, you have to have a success that is not measured always.”

She continued, “It’s like even if you score eight out of 10, it’s like, ‘Oh, but his father scored 10.’ That’s not fair, he still scored an eight! You just completely disregard someone’s achievements. Because someone else in his family has done better, that doesn’t mean he’s done any less. That, I think, is disgusting, and it’s gone on for 20 years, and it’s not okay.”

Abhishek made his appearing debut within the 12 months 2000, with the movie Refugee. He was final seen within the movie Dasvi, and can quickly be seen within the second season of Amazon Prime Video’s Breathe: Into the Shadows.
