Are Aishwarya Rai-Abhishek Bachchan Really Divorcing? Instagram Tells A Different Story

Are Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan really parting ways? The rumours of their separation intensified after the latter 'liked' a post talking about divorce on Instagram.

Is There Truth To The Divorce Rumours?
For over six months, there have been whispers of trouble in paradise. Each time these speculations gained momentum, the couple was spotted together, quelling the rumors. Just last week, speculations peaked when Aishwarya attended Anant Ambani's wedding with her daughter Aaradhya, while Abhishek arrived separately with his parents and siblings. The rumors quickly died down when a photo from the wedding, showing Aishwarya with Abhishek and Hrithik Roshan, surfaced online.

However, the latest round of rumours may be a misunderstanding.

For those unaware, the social media post that Abhishek liked explored the topic "Why love stops being easy," discussing why long-married couples are now parting ways and the rise of grey divorces. The post noted, "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?"

It continued, "Yet, sometimes life doesn't unfold as we hoped. How do people cope when they separate after decades together, having relied 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. Coincidentally, 'grey divorces' or 'silver splitters'-terms for those seeking marital dissolution typically after age 50-are on the rise globally. The reasons, though varied, are not surprising."

Despite the rumours, the couple's photos remain on their Instagram pages. Public figures often remove such pictures when there is trouble in their marriage or they are heading for divorce, signalling the end of their relationship. In Aishwarya and Abhishek's case, their pictures continue to remain.

It is believed that Abhishek liked the post because it features insights from Dr. Zirak Marker, a close friend of Aishwarya Rai. For those who may not know, Marker appeared alongside Aishwarya on Farooq Sheikh's iconic show Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai many years ago.

Thus, while the rumours persist, there is little concrete evidence to support claims of a split. The couple's actions and social media presence suggest that all may still be well in their relationship.
