For Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, marriage rumors seem to be the norm, not the exception. Their names constantly circle through whispers of a split, media speculation, and fan theories — but rarely do they respond.
The Response of Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan on Divorce
One of their most talked-about moments was when Oprah Winfrey bluntly asked them about divorce back in 2009. Aishwarya didn’t hesitate, replying, “We don’t even try and entertain the thought,” shutting down the subject then and there. And Abhishek, when asked about living with family, cheekily turned it back on Oprah, by saying “Do you live with your family?” addressing cultural perceptions head-on” exposing the cultural gap and owning it.
However, in 2014, divorce rumors resurfaced, prompting Abhishek to respond with humor. On May 16, 2014, at 8:22 a.m., he tweeted, “Ok…..So I believe I’m getting divorced. Thanks for letting me know! Will you let me know when I’m getting re-married too? Thanks #muppets.” This sarcastic response addressed the constant speculation in his own style, aiming to dismiss the baseless rumors circulating online.
Despite his humor, the rumors continued. His friendship with actress Nimrat Kaur during the filming of Dasvi raised more questions. Some reports suggested that their closeness might be affecting his marriage, but neither Abhishek nor Nimrat has confirmed these claims.
Recently, rumors picked up again after Aishwarya and Abhishek attended Anant Ambani’s wedding but arrived separately. Aishwarya came with their daughter, Aaradhya, and did not join the family photo, leading to more speculation about their relationship.
Despite the ongoing rumors, Aishwarya has remained quiet. On Instagram, where she has 14.3 million followers, she only follows Abhishek.
Abhishek and Aishwarya have dealt with marriage rumors for years, yet they focus on what matters most—their family. As they move forward, only time will tell what lies ahead for them.
