At the Reel Showsha Awards held this week, Abhishek won the Best Actor award for I Want To Talk. After he received his award, the host, Arjun Kapoor, asked Abhishek playfully, “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?)” Abhishek smiled and responded, “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 without naming wife Aishwarya Rai, the actor referred to her and added, “When you get a call from the missus and she says, ‘I want to talk,’ you know you’re in trouble, yeah!”
