The rumours of separation between Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan continue to do the rounds. A deepfake video circulating online has further fuelled these speculations. However, recent reports suggest that Abhishek has dismissed the divorce rumours by showing off his engagement ring and confirming that he is ‘still married’ to Aishwarya.
Times of India reported that Abhishek Bachchan addressed the ongoing separation rumours in an interview with Bollywood UK media. He reportedly showed off his wedding ring and confirmed that he is ‘still married’. Reacting to the rumours, Abhishek said, “I have nothing to say to you all about that (rumours). You all have blown the whole thing out of proportion, sadly. I understand why you do that. You have to file some stories. It’s okay, we are celebrities, we have to accept it. Still married, sorry.”
Divorce rumours started when Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan arrived separately at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding at the Jio World Convention Centre on July 12. Abhishek attended the event with his family, which included Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan, Navya Naveli Nanda and Agastya Nanda. Meanwhile, Aishwarya arrived with her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan.
Abhishek and Aishwarya got married in 2007 and welcomed their first child Aaradhya in 2011. Married for 17 years, the couple has starred in films such as Dhai Akshar Prem Ke, Kuch Naa Kaho, Guru, Dhoom 2 and Raavan.
Recently, Abhishek Bachchan attended the Paris Olympics 2024, where he enthusiastically cheered for the Indian athletes. His heartfelt hug with Neeraj Chopra after the latter’s silver medal win won hearts and earned him a lot of praise on the internet.
On the work front, Abhishek Bachchan will be working with Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan in King. He will also be working in Remo D’Souza’s upcoming film Be Happy and also has a role in Shoojit Sircar’s next directorial venture.
