Megastar
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
was
in
conversation
with
author
Siddharth
Dhanvant
Shanghvi
at
the
launch
of
his
book
"The
Rabbit
and
The
Squirrel" at
the
9thedition
of
Tata
Literature
Live!,
Thursday.
When
asked
how
do
they
both
take
criticism,
Jayaquipped,
"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
seriously,
I
would
accept
criticism,
I
would
liked
to
be
criticised
because
it
gives
you
an
aspect
of
your
work
which
you
may
not
be
aware
of,"
he
added.
The
star
said
critics' observation
often
go
beyond
the
obvious
and
point
out
nuances
which
is
a
must
for
people
in
creative
field.
"There
are
many
critics
who
are
able
to
have
that
perception,
who
are
able
to
go
beyond
what
you
have
written
or
have
a
different
view
point.
I
think
it's
important
for
anyone
in
the
creative
field
to
know
that.
Many
times,
we
are
unaware
of
it.
Most
of
the
times,
the
critics
are
right
and
we
are
wrong.
"In
such
situations,
when
you
feel
they
have
been
unfair,
cut
that
criticism
out
from
the
piece
of
paper
and
stick
it
on
your
bathroom
wall
and
every
morning,
look
into
the
mirror
and
say,
'One
day
buddy,
I
am
going
to
disapprove
you,'" he
added.

fest,
which
opened

others.
