Big B Unfollows Aishwarya, Cropped Photos Fuel Speculation: Is The Bachchan Family Falling Apart?

The Bachchan family, one of Bollywood's most prominent families, has found itself embroiled in rumors of marital discord between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan. Several incidents in recent weeks have sparked speculation and concern among fans.

The speculation ignited after eagle-eyed fans noticed curious alterations in family photos and subtle shifts in social media behavior. The initial spark came when Aishwarya cropped Shweta and Jaya Bachchan from a family photo posted for Amitabh Bachchan's birthday. This was followed by a public appearance where Abhishek was seen without his wedding ring. Adding fuel to the fire was Amitabh Bachchan's recent unfollowing of his daughter-in-law Aishwarya on Instagram.

The actor renowned for following a limited number of individuals no longer includes Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in his list, sparking further speculation. Amitabh Bachchan's Instagram circle, comprising a mere 74 individuals, boasts names like Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Virat Kohli, Shweta Bachchan Nanda, and Navya Naveli Nanda. In contrast, Aishwarya's Instagram engagement solely involves following her husband, Abhishek.

While some users argued that the two never followed each other, others speculated about the privacy settings hindering visibility of Big B's followed accounts.

Amidst the hearsay that Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan might be heading for a split, Amitabh Bachchan added to the intrigue by posting a cryptic note on social media. Sharing a monochrome photo on his X, formerly known as Twitter, the veteran actor appeared lost in thought, captioning it with, "T 4854 - everything said everything done .. so do the done and done the do."

Further stoking the rumors were recent photos circulating on social media depicting Abhishek Bachchan without his wedding ring and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan following suit in public appearances.

These incidents, coupled with the couple's reduced public appearances and cryptic social media posts, have led many to believe that their marriage is in trouble. Further fueling the rumors are reports suggesting the couple has been facing issues for months and that Aishwarya has been spending more time at her mother's house.

However, it is important to note that the Bachchans have not officially addressed the rumors. Their public appearance at The Archies premiere, albeit without overt displays of affection, presented a united front. .

For the unversed, Abhishek and Aishwarya have been married for over 15 years, having tied the knot on April 20, 2007, and welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya, in 2011.
