Whenever Aishwarya Rai Bachchan steps onto the red carpet, all eyes are inevitably on her. And if you ask Abhishek Bachchan , walking alongside her only adds to the pressure.



In a recent conversation with Lilly Singh, Abhishek didn’t hold back while describing his discomfort at high-profile appearances.



“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 admitted.



Calling himself awkward in such situations, he added, “They’re all professionals, they’re so good at it. I’m like a block of wood. I don’t know what to do. Should I keep my hands in my pockets? I’m very awkward. So they always end up saying, ‘One more smile, please.’”



The actor also recalled a moment when his nervousness translated into an unintended serious expression, leaving photographers confused.



“Sir, humne kya galti ki hai? Aap itne naraaz kyun dikh rahe hain?” they asked him.



“And I’m like, sorry,” Abhishek said with a laugh, reflecting on the incident.
