He also said that it's a challenge to reclaim your foothold after delivering a box failure. “That’s (flop) the worst feeling on earth and it destroys you as a human being. It takes a person of immense strength to wake up the next morning and face the world. If a film doesn’t do well, you have done something wrong. So if that happens, you take it on chin and weather the storm,” he said.

He said, “As an actor when you are asked about it (why a film flopped), it is uncomfortable. You don’t enjoy it. So actors come up with really flowery language and great ways to avoid going into that space.

Abhishek who hardly takes failure as a setback said it actually "crushes" actors when their films don't do well at the box office. “It’s true that people put a lot of money to make a film. But no actor goes there wanting to make an unsuccessful film.
