dedicated

to
wife
Aishwarya
Rai
and
said
that
he
owe
his

to

as
she
has
always
supported

Abhishek
also
thanked
the
entire
cast
and
crew
of
Bol

for
believing
in
him.
"Bol
Bachchan
is
very,
very
special
film
to
me
and
I
stand
here
in
front
of
you
humbly
receiving
the
award," said
Abhishek
and
thanked
the
film's
director
Rohit
Shetty
and
co-star
Ajay
Devgn
for
"having
faith
in
me".
Apart
from
the
film's
cast
and
crew,
the
37-year-old
also
made
a
special
mention
of
his
actress
wife
Aishwarya
Rai
in
the
acceptance
speech
Saturday.
"I
would
like
to
thank
my
family
for
firstly
having
me
because
things
wouldn't
have
worked
without
that.
I
really
owe
this
to
Aishwarya
and
the
love
and
support
she
has
given
me.
She
makes
me
the
person
that
I
am," said
the
actor
after
winning
the
trophy
at
the
first
edition
of
(TOIFA)
Times
of
India
Film
awards
2013.
Abhishek,
who
also
performed
at
the
event,
said
it
was
a
long
due
gig
for
his
fans
in
the
city.
He
said,
"Almost
five
years
ago
me
and
my
family
were
scheduled
to
perform
in
Vancouver
for
the
Unforgettable
tour
(in
2008).
Unfortunately,
the
show
in
Vancouver
got
cancelled
and
I
promised
I
will
make
it
up
to
you
and
I
hope
that
was
a
bit
of
a
payback.
And
I
promise
you
next
time
I
won't
only
bring
Aishwarya,
I
will
bring
dad
(Amitabh
Bachchan)
as
well,"
he
said.
"But
Shiamak,
you
will
have
to
choreograph
it,"
said
the
37-year-old,
whose
act
was
choreographed
by
Indian
Contemporary
Dance
choreographer
Shiamak
Davar.
He
later
called
up
Krushna,
his
co-star
from
Bol
Bachchan,
and
handed
over
the
award
to
him
saying,
"you
deserve
this".
