Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai never fails to turn heads when she walks the red carpet, effortlessly commanding attention. However, her husband, actor Abhishek Bachchan, has revealed that he is terrified of walking the red carpet with Aishwarya and opened up about feeling awkward at high-profile events.

In a chat with Lily Singh on her podcast, Abhishek expressed discomfort with attending high-profile events, saying, 'Have you seen my wife? Have you ever seen her on a red carpet? It's the most daunting thing for me to go on a red carpet, period. And if I have to do it with her, it's terrifying.'

He recalled an incident when his nervousness was mistaken for anger and shared that photographers once asked him, 'Sir, humne kya galti ki hai? Aap itne naraaz kyun dikh rahe hain?' ('Sir, what mistake have we made? Why do you look so upset?')

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya first met in the early 2000s and went on to collaborate on films such as Dhoom 2 and Guru. They got married in April 2007 and welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya, in 2011.

Abhishek Bachchan is all set to feature in Siddharth Anand's King, alongside Shah Rukh Khan, and also has Raja Shivaji in the pipeline, a historical action drama co-written and directed by Riteish Deshmukh.
