Actor Abhishek Bachchan has responded to a Twitter user who suggested that the actor is popular because of the family he belongs to and not his skills as a performer. The Twitter user, in his argument, compared the follower count of Abhishek with actor Prachi Desai.

Tagging Kangana Ranaut, PM Narendra Modi and a fake account of TV anchor Arnab Goswami, the user wrote in his tweet, “OUTSIDER VS NEPOTISM. @ItsPrachiDesai 1.3M followers. @juniorbachchan 15.3M followers. And you guys are expecting good from #Bollywood. I mean How? Its high time that we should start appreciating and supporting #talent.”

Abhishek replied, “I assure you Mr Singhal the amount of followers you have on social media is by no means a barometer of acceptance or popularity or talent. My friend @ItsPrachiDesai is a very talented actor and doesn’t need social media to endorse that. Her work speaks for itself.” When another person noted that Abhishek’s fans follow him on social media voluntarily, the actor wrote, “Absolutely.”
