Abhishek, who won for his role in I Want To Talk (2024), appeared visibly moved as he addressed the audience. “This year marks 25 years in the film industry, and I cannot remember how many times I’ve practised a speech for this award. This has been a dream, and I’m just so touched and humbled. Receiving it in front of my family makes it even more special. There’s a host of people I need to thank, so please… Kartik (Aaryan), ther jao tum abhi, tum sambhal jao tab tak. Kartik has gotten very emotional and made me speak, thinking I wouldn’t get emotional.”
He went on to thank directors and producers who had believed in him over the years. “To all the directors and producers who have worked with me, believed in me, and given me opportunities over the past 25 years, it’s not been easy, but it has definitely been worth it.”
Turning emotionally toward his family, Abhishek said, “To Aishwarya and Aaradhya, thank you for allowing me to go out and follow my dreams. I hope that by winning this award, they see that their sacrifices have been one of the main reasons I stand here today. I want to dedicate this award to two very special people. This film is about a father and a daughter, and I want to dedicate it to my hero, my father, and to my other hero, my daughter. Thank you so much, I cannot express what this means to me.”
In I Want To Talk, Abhishek portrays a terminally ill father seeking reconciliation with his daughter. This film also marks his first collaboration with acclaimed director Shoojit Sircar, and its narrative is inspired by true events.
On the work front, Abhishek was last seen in Housefull 5. He is now set to appear alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan in the upcoming film King.
