Abhishek Bachchan breaks silence on divorce buzz with Aishwarya Rai, calls the chatter ‘intentionally hurtful’

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s relationship has been under the spotlight as divorce rumours continue to swirl. While some reports alleged infidelity and others hinted at a so-called ‘grey divorce,’ the speculation has sparked endless debate among fans. Cutting through the chaos, Abhishek has now addressed the ongoing rumours head-on.

He observed how the spotlight had always followed them—before marriage, people debated the wedding dates; after marriage, they began guessing when the two would separate.

All of this talk is baseless. She knows my truth, and I know hers. At the end of the day, we come back to a loving, grounded family—and that’s what really matters,” Abhishek shared.

Addressing the rumours, Bachchan firmly stated: ‘No. If there were even a hint of truth, maybe it would matter. But there isn’t. I refuse to accept fabricated stories or lies about my family or me.’

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have long lived under the glare of public speculation, especially when divorce rumours began to swirl. Yet, their recent appearances together seem to have quieted the chatter. Back in April, the couple, along with their daughter, was seen attending a cousin’s wedding in Pune—sending a strong message of unity.

In December, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were once again seen together as they came together to celebrate their daughter Aaradhya’s birthday. Photos and videos from the intimate celebration quickly went viral, offering fans a glimpse of the family’s warmth and togetherness.
The divorce rumours, however, had begun earlier when the couple made separate entrances at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding—Abhishek arriving with the Bachchan family, while Aishwarya walked the red carpet alongside Aaradhya. Speculation grew even stronger after Abhishek liked a social media post about “grey divorce,” a term used to describe marriages that end later in life after decades together, fueling further chatter among fans and media.
