Abhishek Bachchan recently caused a stir on social media after he liked a post discussing the challenges and increasing prevalence of divorce. The Dhoom 3 star’s action quickly drew attention, leading many netizens to speculate that there might be trouble in his marriage with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
The buzz intensified when an old interview of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan resurfaced online. In the 2010 interview with Vogue, the actress candidly mentioned that she and Abhishek have daily disagreements. “Oh, every day,” she remarked. Abhishek added, “But they’re more like disagreements, not fights. They’re not serious, they’re healthy. It’d be really boring otherwise.”
Amid the growing speculation, a fact-check on Reddit offered a different perspective on Abhishek’s social media activity. According to Redditors, the reason behind Abhishek liking the post was not related to his personal life, but rather due to the involvement of Dr. Zirak Marker, a close friend of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Dr. Marker had appeared alongside Aishwarya in the popular television show Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, hosted by Farooq Sheikh, many years ago.
The post that Abhishek liked was shared by author Heena Khandelwal and delved into the complexities of divorce, especially among older couples. It read, “When love stops being easy.Couples who have been married are now parting ways. What has prompted their decision and why are grey divorces on the rise?” The post further explored the emotional and practical difficulties that individuals face when separating after decades of marriage, questioning what drives them to make such a life-altering decision.
Abhishek and Aishwarya, who tied the knot on April 20, 2007, are one of Bollywood’s most celebrated couples. They welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, on November 16, 2011. Despite the recent social media buzz, the couple has not publicly addressed the rumors, allowing their actions and past interviews to speak for themselves.
