Mumbai: ‘I Want To Talk’ actor Abhishek Bachchan, while receiving the Best Actor Award for his role in the film, revealed that he gets stressed when wife Aishwarya Rai tells him that she wants to talk to him.
At the News18 Showsha Reel Awards 2025, host Arjun Kapoor and Abhishek were at their wittiest best and got involved in a funny banter on the stage, leaving the audience in splits.
When host Arjun asked Abhishek teasingly, “Kaun hai woh insaan jo jab kehte hain, ‘Abhishek, I want to talk,’ toh aap stress mein aa jate hain? (Whose ‘I want to talk you’ call gives you stress?)”, to this Abhishek quipped, “Tumhari shaadi nahi hui hai na abhi tak… jab ho jaayegi, you’ll have an answer for that (You are not married yet. Once you will be, you’ll have an answer for that).”
Then, the actor added, “When you get a call from the missus and she says, ‘I want to talk,’ you know you’re in trouble, yeah!”
Abhishek and Aishwarya have been married for 17 years and are parents to a 13-year-old daughter, Aaradhya.
While opening up about his equation with his daughter at home, Abhishek told Hindustan Times, “What’s nice and refreshing is that at home, you’re a parent. You’re a professional or a celebrity, just a parent. I don’t look upon it as a reality check but something nice because that love is coming from a genuine place, and not because of what you do.”
Abhishek’s recent Prime Video release, ‘Be Happy’, featuring Inaayat Verma, Nora Fatehi, and Nassar revolves around the father-daughter relationship.
