Rumors of a divorce between Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan have been circulating for quite some time. Neither the couple nor their families have confirmed or denied these rumors, yet various speculations have surfaced, many of which involve the Bachchan family dynamics. Recently, a video from the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant was released, showing the couple sharing a happy moment with their daughter, Aaradhya. Despite this heartwarming video, which came out just a day earlier, rumors of their divorce resurfaced on Amitabh Bachchan's birthday. People even claimed that the couple’s separation was all but confirmed.
The speculation began on Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday. The Bollywood icon recently celebrated his 82nd birthday. As he has done in previous years, Amitabh is hosting the popular television show "Kaun Banega Crorepati 16." As part of the birthday celebrations on the show, a special video message from the family was played, a tradition seen in previous years. However, this year, the absence of Aishwarya Rai from the video fueled the ongoing divorce rumors.
Every year, during the shoot for "KBC," the family sends a special video message to wish Amitabh on his birthday. Last year, Aishwarya Rai was featured in this message, but this year, she was conspicuously absent. Instead, the video featured Amitabh’s wife, Jaya Bachchan, their son Abhishek Bachchan, daughter Shweta Nanda, and grandchildren Navya Naveli Nanda and Agastya. Some pictures of Aaradhya Bachchan were also shown, but Aishwarya was missing entirely from the clip. This absence led to speculations on social media, particularly on Reddit, where users began discussing the possibility of a divorce between Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan.
One user commented, "Has anyone seen the latest episode of KBC 16? The rumors about Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s divorce are practically confirmed." Another user echoed similar sentiments, writing, "Everything is now clear. There’s no sign or mention of Aishwarya in the episode." These comments reignited speculation that something might be wrong in the couple’s relationship.
However, despite her absence from the video message on the show, Aishwarya did share a picture on Instagram of her daughter Aaradhya alongside Amitabh Bachchan, wishing him a happy birthday. This post also received comments from followers, with some asking, "Why don't you just confirm the news?"
At present, neither Aishwarya Rai nor Abhishek Bachchan have responded to these rumors, leaving fans and the media to continue speculating about the state of their marriage. Despite their public appearances and the family celebrations, the rumors persist, fueled by the recent events and Aishwarya’s noticeable absence from key family moments. Until there is a definitive statement from the couple, it seems the speculation will continue to grow.
