In recent months, rumors of a possible divorce between Bollywood power couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have resurfaced, sparking widespread speculation and media frenzy. However, a closer look at the facts reveals that Abhishek’s purported denial of these rumors is actually from an old interview, not a recent statement as widely reported.
What Abhishek Bachchan Actually Said
Abhishek Bachchan‘s remarks about his marriage to Aishwarya were made shortly after attending the premiere of her 2016 film “Sarbjit”. When asked by a reporter if things were not good between them based on their recent public appearances, Abhishek responded, “I don’t have to say anything to you all about that.”
He then proceeded to show off his wedding ring and confirm that he was “still married” to Aishwarya. Abhishek also addressed the media’s tendency to sensationalize the couple’s personal life, saying, “I think, you all have blown the entire thing out of proportion, sadly. But I understand why you do it. You all have to file some stories. It’s okay, we’re celebrities, we have to take it. Still married, sorry.”
Recent Divorce Rumors Debunked
The latest round of divorce rumors began when Abhishek and Aishwarya arrived separately for the star-studded wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Mumbai on July 12, 2024. Abhishek made a grand entry with the Bachchan family, while Aishwarya arrived with their daughter Aaradhya.
Around the same time, Abhishek made headlines for “liking” an Instagram post about divorce amid separation rumors from Aishwarya. However, it was later revealed that his gesture of appreciation was actually for the doctor, who is a close confidant of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Deepfake Video Causes Further Confusion
Adding to the confusion, a notorious deepfake video has emerged on social media, seemingly an attempt to create rifts between the couple. The black and white clip shows Abhishek saying, “This July, Aishwarya and I have decided to get divorced.” However, the poor lip sync gives away that the statements are wrongly imposed on an old clip of Abhishek.
The video was shared by a fan of Aishwarya on social media, with a disclaimer calling out the authenticity of the video. Fans have been quick to defend the couple, expressing their disappointment in the insensitive use of fake voice and dubbing to create such content.
Abhishek and Aishwarya’s Enduring Love Story
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai married in 2007 and welcomed their daughter Aaradhya in 2011. Despite the constant media scrutiny and rumors, the couple has remained steadfast in their commitment to each other and their family.
In an industry where relationships often struggle to withstand the pressures of fame and public attention, Abhishek and Aishwarya’s marriage has stood the test of time. Their unwavering support for each other, both on and off-screen, has inspired countless fans and admirers.
Conclusion
As the rumor mill continues to churn, it’s important to separate fact from fiction and respect the privacy of Abhishek and Aishwarya’s relationship. The couple’s actions, such as Abhishek’s defense of his marriage and their joint appearances at family events, speak volumes about their enduring love and commitment.
While the media and public may be fascinated by the idea of a celebrity divorce, it’s crucial to remember that behind the glitz and glamour, Abhishek and Aishwarya are a real couple navigating the challenges of life in the public eye. As fans, the best we can do is offer our support and respect their right to privacy.
In the end, the truth behind Abhishek Bachchan’s alleged denial of divorce rumors with Aishwarya Rai is that his statement was from an old interview, not a recent one. The couple continues to face unfounded speculation, but their actions and the support of their fans suggest that their love story is far from over.
