Abhishek Bachchan took to Twitter on Thursday to reply to author Taslima Nasreen's tweet. She shared her thoughts on Abhishek Bachchan's acting skills and said that he may be "good" but he isn't as great as Amitabh Bachchan. In the now-deleted tweet Abhishek gave a humble response to the author.
Taslima's tweet which has now been deleted stated, "Amitabh Bachchan ji loves his son Abhishek Bachchan so much that he thinks his son inherited all his talents and his son is the best. Abhishek is good, but I do not think Abhishek is as talented as Amitji."
Abhishek replied, "Absolutely correct, Ma’am. Nobody comes close to him in talent or anything else for that matter. He will always remain ‘the best’ ! I am an extremely proud son. (folded hands emoji)." Actor Suniel Shetty posted a red heart emoji, reacting to Abhishek's tweet.
Many Twitter users also weighed in on the debate talking about Abhishek and his father, veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan.
Recently, Abhishek won the Best Actor, Web Original Film Male award for his film Dasvi. His father also took to Twitter to congratulate him.
