Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have been making headlines due to the reported turmoil in their relationship. Several media reports claim that Abhishek cheated on Aishwarya with his Dasvi co-star Nimrat Kaur.
Some fans speculate that the couple may have already separated but have not announced it publicly. Amid the divorce rumours, an old video from an awards show has resurfaced on Reddit, where Aishwarya can be seen praising her husband Abhishek.
In the now-viral video, Aishwarya looks at her in-laws, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, and expresses that it is a privilege to be part of the Bachchan family as their daughter-in-law. The former Miss World also calls Abhishek “the best husband in the world.” As soon as the video went viral, users quickly took to the comments section.
One user criticized Aishwarya for her “fake behaviour,” while another wrote, “This is so fake and glad her whole facade was exposed, but it’s 2024 and 20 years too late.” Another commented, “No matter how big a star someone is, there is never a need for such close family members to gush over them and do so much ‘bhakti,’ especially in public. It just seems weird.”
Rumours of the couple’s divorce began circulating after Aishwarya and Aaradhya arrived separately from the rest of the Bachchan family at the wedding of Mukesh and Nita Ambani’s son, Anant Ambani, with Radhika Merchant in July this year. However, a short clip later went viral, showing Abhishek, Aishwarya, and Aaradhya enjoying themselves together at the wedding festivities.
The divorce speculations gained further attention when Abhishek liked an Instagram post that read, “When Love Stops Being Easy.” The post delved into the concept of “grey divorces” or “silver splitters,” terms used for individuals pursuing divorce typically after the age of 50. Meanwhile, several reports claim that Abhishek’s alleged infidelity could be one of the major reasons for the couple’s separation.
Another report suggests that Aishwarya is no longer living in Jalsa, Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic bungalow in Mumbai, and has moved out with her daughter to stay with her mother.
