Abhishek Bachchan Opens Up on Rumours Surrounding His Divorce From Aishwarya Rai; Says Still Married
The enduring Bollywood power couple, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, have found themselves at the centre of intense speculation regarding the state of their marriage. Their separate appearances at a high-profile wedding last month initially sparked the rumours that have been swirling for weeks.
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`—terms for those seeking marital dissolution typically after age 50—are on the rise globally. The reasons, though varied, are not surprising.”

However, in recent years, they have opted for a more private approach to their marriage. Their social media interactions have been primarily limited to birthday wishes and anniversary acknowledgements, though they continue to support each other`s professional endeavours.
Meanwhile, Abhishek is currently part of Shah Rukh Khan`s highly anticipated film, `King`. Recently, he was also spotted cheering for the Indian contingent at the Paris Olympics, where he showered Neeraj Chopra with love after the latter`s silver medal win in javelin throw.
As the couple continues to navigate the challenges of fame and public scrutiny, their steadfastness in the face of unfounded rumours serves as a testament to their enduring bond. Only time will tell if they choose to address the speculation further or continue to let their actions speak louder than words.
