Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan has recently found himself at the centre of rumours regarding a potential separation from his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. While neither Abhishek nor Aishwarya has addressed these speculations, Abhishek's actions on social media have added to the intrigue. On August 13, the actor posted a video on Instagram, showcasing moments from his visit to the Paris Olympics. The video captures Abhishek's experience watching Indian athlete Neeraj Chopra compete in the javelin throw, a moment he described as filled with pride, especially when the Indian tricolour was displayed in the stadium. In his caption, Abhishek expressed his admiration for the city’s energy and the precision of his longtime collaborators, Omega. However, what caught the attention of many was his decision to disable comments on the post, which some interpret as a move to avoid addressing the ongoing divorce rumours. ALSO READ: OMG!

Adding fuel to the speculation, an old video of Abhishek has resurfaced online, leading to further confusion. In the video, which dates back to the 2016 premiere of Aishwarya's film Sarbjit, Abhishek is seen addressing similar rumours of marital discord. He is heard saying, "You all have blown the entire thing out of proportion, sadly. I understand why you do it. You have to file some stories. It's okay, we're celebrities, we have to take it. Still married, sorry." He even flashes his wedding ring as he speaks to the media, attempting to put the rumours to rest. However, the video’s circulation has led some to mistakenly believe it is a recent response to the current gossip. ALSO READ: OMG!

Compounding the situation, a deepfake video of Abhishek announcing his divorce has gone viral. The video, which exhibits clear lip-syncing issues, has been widely criticized for its authenticity, yet it has contributed to the ongoing chatter about the couple's relationship. The timing of this video’s release coincides with the renewed focus on Abhishek and Aishwarya's marriage, making it a topic of widespread discussion.
The rumours were further fueled by the couple's separate appearances at the wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in July 2024. Aishwarya’s decision not to pose with the Bachchan family on the red carpet raised eyebrows and intensified the speculation about a rift between her and her in-laws. Earlier in the year, reports had already emerged suggesting that Aishwarya had moved out of the Bachchan family home due to strained relations with her mother-in-law, Jaya Bachchan. The last time Aishwarya was seen publicly with the Bachchan family was during the screening of Agastya Nanda's film The Archies.
Despite the swirling rumours, the couple has maintained their silence, leaving fans and the media to speculate about the true state of their relationship. Whether the recent developments are just a series of coincidences or indicative of deeper issues remains to be seen, but for now, the mystery surrounding Abhishek and Aishwarya’s marriage continues to captivate public attention.
