Abhishek said, “We’re celebrities; we have to handle it.”
Amidst the swirling rumors of separation between Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek reportedly addressed the speculation in an interview with Bollywood UK Media, as reported by The Times of India. Displaying his wedding ring, he remarked, “Still married.” He further commented, “I have nothing to say about this. Unfortunately, the whole situation has been blown out of proportion. I understand why it happens—you need stories to publish. It’s fine, we’re celebrities, and this comes with the territory.”

Rumors of their divorce have been circulating on social media for some time, gaining traction when Abhishek and Aishwarya made separate entries at a high-profile wedding last month. The speculation intensified when Abhishek liked an Instagram post about the increasing trend of grey divorces.
The Instagram post Abhishek liked read: “Sometimes, life doesn’t go as planned. But how do people cope when they separate after decades together, having relied on each other for both major and minor things? What drives them to part ways, and what challenges do they face? This story explores these questions. Coincidentally, ‘grey divorces’ or ‘silver splitters’—terms for those seeking marital dissolution typically after age 50—are on the rise globally, and the reasons, though varied, are not surprising.”
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai were married in 2007. The couple welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya, in November 2011. On their 17th wedding anniversary this past April, Aishwarya shared a throwback picture from their engagement ceremony, simply captioned with a handful of emojis.
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have appeared together in films such as Guru, Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke, Kuch Naa Kaho, Dhoom 2, and Umrao Jaan.
