Speculation around the relationship status of Bollywood power couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has intensified following Abhishek’s recent social media activity.
The actor liked an Instagram post addressing the rise of divorce, adding fuel to the ongoing rumours of their separation.
The controversial post, titled “Why Love Stops Being Easy,” delved into why long-married couples are increasingly parting ways, a phenomenon often referred to as “grey divorces” or “silver splitters.”
It pondered, “What has prompted their decision and why are grey divorces on the rise?”
A side note poignantly added, “Divorce is never easy for anyone. Who doesn't dream of a happily ever after or envision recreating those heartwarming videos of elderly couples holding hands as they cross the street?”
The post continued, “Yet, sometimes life doesn't unfold as we hoped. How do people cope when they separate after decades together, after spending a significant portion of their lives relying on each other for both big and small things? What drives them to sever ties, and what challenges do they face? This story delves into these questions.”
The rise of “grey divorces” globally, where couples over 50 seek marital dissolution, was also highlighted. Despite the growing buzz, neither Abhishek nor Aishwarya have publicly addressed or confirmed the rumours of their impending separation.
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who married in a grand ceremony at Amitabh Bachchan's Juhu bungalow, Prateeksha, in 2007, have been in the public eye ever since. The couple welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya, in November 2011.
On their 17th wedding anniversary this April, Aishwarya shared a nostalgic throwback from their engagement, featuring a picture of their hands intertwined, accompanied by a few heart emojis.
The simple yet heartfelt post contrasted sharply with the current divorce speculation.
The duo has shared screen space in several films, including "Guru," "Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke," "Kuch Naa Kaho," "Dhoom 2," and "Umrao Jaan."
Their on-screen chemistry has often mirrored their off-screen bond, making the current rumours all the more surprising for their fans.
As the gossip mills churn, the industry and fans alike await an official word from the couple, hoping for clarity amid the swirling speculation.
