The Filmfare Best Actor 2025 award turned out to be a very special moment. Karthik Aaryan won the trophy for Chandu Champion, while Abhishek Bachchan received the same award for I Want To Talk. This rare tie created a memorable evening, but Abhishek’s emotional speech left Karthik waiting for his turn.
Abhishek Bachchan’s Emotional Moment
For Abhishek Bachchan, the Filmfare Best Actor 2025 trophy was not just another award. In his 25-year career, this was his first Best Actor Filmfare Award. His performance in I Want To Talk earned critical praise, even though the film didn’t do big numbers at the box office.
Abhishek became so emotional on stage that he mentioned almost everyone he knew—his crew, family, and even Karthik Aaryan. His wife Aishwarya Rai, daughter Aaradhya, and father Amitabh Bachchan were missing from the event, but his mother Jaya Bachchan, sister Shweta Nanda, and niece Navya Nanda were present to witness the moment.
Why the Speech Felt So Long
During his speech, Abhishek acknowledged his struggles. He admitted that comparisons with Amitabh Bachchan have always overshadowed his career. Despite delivering strong performances, audience expectations kept him under constant pressure.
Finally, when he got recognized with Filmfare Best Actor 2025, emotions took over. He thanked people one by one, recalling years of challenges and validation. His heartfelt words stretched so long that Karthik Aaryan, standing beside him, had to wait patiently for his turn.
Karthik Aaryan’s Reaction
Karthik Aaryan handled the situation gracefully. Before starting his speech, Abhishek even told Karthik to wait, as he knew his speech would be long. Karthik smiled and respected the moment, later calling Abhishek “a true inspiration” and “Bollywood’s backbone” in his own words.
Karthik also expressed gratitude for Chandu Champion, calling it a film that changed his career graph. He acknowledged that sharing the stage with Abhishek made the award even more meaningful.
Conclusion
The Filmfare Best Actor 2025 award night will be remembered not just for the winners, but for Abhishek Bachchan’s emotional journey and Karthik Aaryan’s patience. It symbolized both the struggles of a veteran actor and the rise of a new-age star.
