I am not a big fan of my own work: Abhishek Bachchan 

In an old interview with PTI, Abhishek Bachchan opened up about the importance of being critical of one’s own work. The actor asserted that he is not a fan of his work and it is important for all actors always to find a way to improve. He stated that if he begins liking his work, he will become ‘complacent’. 

Abhishek said, “I hate all my performances and hope I don't start liking them. I believe that the day you start liking your work is the day you become complacent. I review my work, I always find something I can improve on. I think it's the same with all actors. We are always trying to better ourselves from our last outing. So I am not a big fan of my own work.”
