Bachchan likes being criticised

Amitabh Bachchan says he is fine taking criticism as it at least assures that the creative work has been consumed by the audience as opposed to people not watching a film at all.

Bachchan, along with wife Jaya, were in conversation with author Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi at the launch of his book The Rabbit and The Squirrel on November 15. When asked how do they take criticsm, Jaya quipped, “I don’t actually care.”

Bachchan said: “The first assurance that you get is somebody has actually read your work. It’s very important for us, in the creative field, because if no one goes to see our films, that’s very bad. So, that’s one of the first things that comes to your mind. But, I would accept criticism, I would like to be criticised because it gives you an aspect of your work which you may not be aware of.”
