Meanwhile, Abhishek, who is married to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, have been the quintessential Bollywood couple for 17 long years. However, in 2024, there were rumours stating that the couple are heading for a divorce.
Several reports also stated that the couple is living separately. Rumors about tension between Aishwarya and Abhishek began when Aishwarya and her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, arrived separately for Anant Ambani’s wedding, while the rest of the family, including Amitabh, Jaya, Abhishek, Shweta, Agastya Nanda, and Navya Nanda, attended together.
Since the divorce rumours, the couple has made appearances at their daughter’s annual event, been spotted together at the airport, and attended various events. In fact, on Abhishek’s birthday on February 5, Aishwarya shared his childhood photo on Instagram, seemingly quashing the rumours.
