The relationship between Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan has been subjected to a lot of public scrutiny recently, due to multiple rumours of a divorce that simply refuses to die down.

The rumours were fuelled as the pair were spotted at multiple events without their wedding rings. However, recently, one of their former co-stars fondly recalled that they were “inseparable” on the sets.

Actor Nikhil Dwivedi, who is personally acquainted with both, recently shared his perspective on their relationship. He took the opportunity to clear up the circulating rumors.

In a conversation with Filmgyan Viral, Nikhil spoke about the couple’s dynamic while working together, noting that they genuinely present themselves as a married couple.

He explained, “They’re a married couple, so naturally, they have the bond of husband and wife. We’ve never seen them apart.”

However, he maintained that their off-screen equation did not interfere with their professionalism on set.

He clarified, “If you’re asking whether they were less professional, absolutely not. They were highly professional, and yes, they are a couple.”

For the unversed, Dwivedi worked with Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya in the 2010 film ‘Raavan’. The magnum opus was directed by Mani Ratnam (who also directed them in the 2007 biographical drama ‘Guru’).

However, the movie failed to make a mark at the box-office and emerged as a commercial disaster.

He also praised Bachchan Jr. as a soft-spoken, polite, and very well-brought-up guy. He gushed about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and praised her for being approachable and easy to talk to.

Recently, the ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ star spent her 51st birthday alone. However, no members of the Bachchan family left any wishes, thereby triggering speculations of a possible rift between Aishwarya and the Bachchan family.

However, neither Aishwarya nor the Bachchans have publicly addressed the situation, choosing to maintain their privacy.

On the professional front, Aishwarya’s last appearance was in Ponniyin Selvan: II (2023), and she has not yet confirmed any upcoming projects.

Abhishek, however, is gearing up for multiple releases, including Shoojit Sircar’s ‘I Want to Talk and Housefull 5’, which is set to release in 2025.
