Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai have been grabbing headlines due to their divorce rumours. However, this is not the first time their divorce rumours have been doing rounds on social media, and the couple is now used to dealing with such speculations. This also might be the reason for their silence on the matter.

Earlier, in 2014, when there were speculations of separation from Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan dismissed these claims humorously on X (formerly Twitter), joking that he hadn’t known about the supposed divorce and asking fans if they’d also inform him about his next “remarriage.” Abhishek wrote, “Ok. So I believe I’m getting divorced. Thanks for letting me know! Will you let me know when I’m getting remarried too? Thanks. #muppets.”

Their divorce rumours have linked Abhishek Bachchan to Nimrit Kaur. Now, speculations are rife that their closeness on the sets of Dasvi caused a strain on Abhishek-Aishwarya’s marriage. However, neither Abhishek, nor Nimrit has reacted to the rumours doing rounds on social media.

Recently, their divorce rumours sparked again after their separate appearances at Anant Ambani’s wedding. While Abhishek Bachchan was seen arriving at the venue with his family, Aishwarya Rai was seen arriving with her daughter separately and wasn’t even a part of Bachchan’s family photo. This led to the speculations that something is wrong between the couple.

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai now have a daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan together, who is often seen accompanying her mother to various Bollywood events and fashion shows. Meanwhile, on the work front, Abhishek Bachchan will be next seen in the movie King. Helmed by Sujoy Ghosh, the action thriller stars the actor in a negative role opposite superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The film also stars Suhana Khan and Munjya-fame Abhay Verma in key roles. The film is currently under production and is set to release in 2025.

In the midst of this speculation, let’s rewind to a moment when Abhishek responded to divorce gossip with a heavy dose of sarcasm, a reaction that truly encapsulates the couple’s approach to handling unfounded claims.

In 2014, similar whispers surfaced about Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s relationship facing difficulties, sparking speculation of a potential split. True to his witty nature, the actor took to Twitter to set the record straight, addressing the swirling divorce rumors with a clever twist.

He quipped, “Ok. So I believe I’m getting divorced. Thanks for letting me know! Will you let me know when I’m getting remarried too? Thanks. #muppets.” His humorous response not only highlighted the absurdity of the rumors but also showcased his knack for turning gossip into a lighthearted moment.

Beyond his witty exchanges on social media, the Dasvi actor also addressed the rumors during an interview with Filmfare around the same time. He emphad that he and Aishwarya wouldn’t let outside influences dictate their lives. He expressed confidence in the strength of their bond, affirming that both of them understand the depth of their love for each other.

Abhishek Bachchan remarked that if anyone chose to twist the narrative for their own benefit, that was their prerogative. As a public figure, he acknowledged the challenge of satisfying media expectations, firmly stating that the course of his marriage and personal life wouldn’t be determined by public speculation.

Just a few days ago, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was spotted in a heartwarming photo celebrating her cousin Sagar Shetty’s birthday, accompanied by her mother and daughter. However, the noticeable absence of her husband, Abhishek Bachchan, fueled speculation about their relationship and his whereabouts.

Recent reports clarified that the Dasvi star was actually in Bhopal visiting his grandmother, Indira Bhaduri. For those who may not know, Bhaduri, who is Jaya Bachchan’s mother, has been hospitalized due to health issues.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Abhishek Bachchan has delivered numerous box office successes over the years, starring in popular films such as the Dhoom series, Housefull 3, Refugee, Dostana, and Happy New Year. His most recent appearance was in the 2023 film Ghoomer.

Looking ahead, the talented actor has an exciting lineup of projects, including Be Happy, Housefull 5, and I Want To Talk, directed by Shoojit Sircar.
