As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for Hollywood-style narratives, I must say that Abhishek Banerjee‘s journey is truly inspiring. His rise to fame from Paatal Lok to Stree 2 and Vedaa is a testament to his talent and determination. In the cutthroat world of Bollywood, it’s refreshing to see an actor who values audience love over critical acclaim.

2020 saw Abhishek Banerjee, who gained popularity as Hathoda Tyagi in the series “Paatal Lok,” starring in two major commercial films, “Stree 2” and “Vedaa.” Unfortunately, these movies coincided at the box office during their releases. Among his roles, Abhishek’s portrayal of Jana, Vicky’s friend, stands out as one of the entertaining characters within the “Stree” franchise. Recently, he highlighted that audience love over positive critical reviews is more important to him, suggesting that he values the appreciation from viewers rather than critics. The actor from “Stree 2” expresses that producers assign roles based on whether or not audiences find his performances enjoyable.

In a recent chat with DNA, actor Abhishek Banerjee was posed a question regarding whether he prefers the affection of the audience or critical acclaim during the box office success of Stree 2. Abhishek expressed his eagerness for the audience’s affection as he carries on with his acting career.

Abhishek mentioned that the level of praise he receives depends on his performance and it’s up to each person to evaluate his acting talent. He also noted that while some viewers have not found him compelling in the past, as an actor, he aims to win over those audiences who have been less than impressed with his previous work.

According to the Vedaa actor, an actor’s success depends on being well-liked by the general public rather than just receiving positive criticism from critics. He admitted that sometimes his work goes unnoticed by the audience despite favorable reviews, and he laments that the audience he aims to resonate with isn’t always present. The Bhediya actor finds it challenging to find the audience he wants to connect deeply with on occasion.

The actor stated that simply receiving critical acclaim is not enough; it’s only when the audience admires your work that producers will offer you more roles.

Expressing gratitude for their appreciation, Abhishek conveyed that when audiences appreciate the acting abilities of performers, it brings an immense sense of joy to individuals like himself. Essentially, this validation feels like a unique form of exhilaration for artists.

Under the guidance of director Amar Kaushik, the movie titled Stree 2 was headlined by Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor as the main characters. They returned to their roles that they played in the first film, Stree. Alongside Abhishek Banerjee, the sequel also introduced Pankaj Tripathi and Aparshakti Khurana into supporting positions.
