Mumbai: Actor Abhishek Bachchan said that criticism bothers him.

Be it his acting skills or his unsuccessful films, Abhishek gets slammed on social networking sites at times. Does it bother him?

"Criticism does bother me. We are human beings. It hurts terribly. The sad thing is that you can get 100 compliments but that one criticism will ruin your day. As actors, when there is such a huge volume of love coming your way. We hold on to that one negative thought," Abhishek told IANS.

"We want to entertain everyone. We want everybody to enjoy our work," added Abhishek.

Abhishek said that even if one percent of the audience says that they didn't like his film, it 'hurts' him.

"Actors would be lying if they say criticism doesn't bother them. I have never looked upon criticism as negativity. I take it as an advice," said Abhishek.

Abhishek, son of actors Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, considers his father as his biggest critic.

"He (Amitabh Bachchan) shares his thoughts honestly with me and has always pointed out that I could have done it differently," said Abhishek.

Abhishek will soon be seen in Sajid-Farhad's Housefull 3, which also stars Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh.

Was there any insecurity while working with Akshay and Riteish?

"I don't believe in actors being insecure. If you are confident about your job, you don't have to be insecure. Riteish and Akshay - we are good friends. I've known them for a long time on and off screen. There was absolutely no insecurity," said Abhishek.

Abhishek, who has been exploring the comedy genre in Bollywood, said that he wants to stay away from adult comedies.

"The basic concept of Housefull is that there is a house which is full and there is chaos. That's how I categorize Housefull. I believe comedy never comes naturally to anyone. Comedy depends on the material," said Abhishek.

"It is very difficult to do. Besides, I personally don't think I can do adult comedy. I don't think I have the ability to pull it off," added Abhishek.

Abhishek was nervous before shooting for Housefull 3.

"The initial reaction was, 'Yes, let's do it.' The script is great and star cast was so much fun. So, it was a yes. But before the shooting started, that was when I realized that it is a big franchise and I need to pay attention. That's when the pressure started building," said Abhishek.

Housefull 3 will release on June 3.
