NEW DEHLI (Web Desk) - Abhishek Bachchan, who won the best actor comic award Saturday at the TOIFA for his funny role in " Bol Bachchan", dedicated it to wife Aishwarya Rai and also thanked the entire cast and crew of the film 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 Aishwayra 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".
