"A lady came and expressed her displeasure physically of how she didn’t like the film (Shararat). She slapped me. She said I should stop acting because I’m, something to the effect of that, I’m embarrassing my father’s name. But the poetic justice for me was, last year, during Bol Bachchan, I went back to the same theatre. I remember after seeing those 10,000 people gathered outside, I got out of my car, took a photograph and I sent it to my dad. I said, ‘It’s amazing how life comes a full circle'", Abhishek said in the video.
