In the midst of ongoing separation rumors with his wife Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan recently reacted to an Instagram post discussing divorce. The post, shared by a journalist, featured an article from Indian Express’ Eye magazine.
Abhishek Likes Post on Divorce
The post featured a poignant message: “When love stops being easy.” The accompanying caption read, “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? Yet, sometimes life doesn’t unfold as we hoped. But 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?”
The post further delved into the reasons and challenges of “grey divorces” or “silver splitters”—terms for those seeking marital dissolution typically after age 50—which are reportedly on the rise globally. Abhishek Bachchan’s reaction to the post was marked by a simple ‘like.’
