While the couple has maintained a dignified silence in the face of these rumours, Abhishek recently broke his silence in an interview with Bollywood UK Media. Dismissing the speculation as unfounded and exaggerated, the actor displayed his wedding ring emphatically. He stated, "I don't have anything to say to you all about that (the rumours)." You all have blown the entire thing out of proportion, sadly. I understand why you do it. You have to file some stories. It's okay, we're celebrities, we have to take it."

These divorce speculations were further fuelled when Abhishek seemingly 'liked' a social media post alluding to divorce and another about the increasing trend of 'grey divorces.'

The Instagram post in question read, "Yet, sometimes life doesn't unfold as we hoped. But how do people cope when they separate after decades together, after spending a significant portion of their lives relying on each other for both big and small things? What drives them to sever ties, and what challenges do they face? This story delves into these questions. Coincidentally, 'grey divorces' or 'splitters'mdashterms for those seeking marital dissolution typically after age 50mdashare on the rise globally. The reasons, though varied, are not surprising.'
