There have been rumours about Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan separating for quite some time now. The rumours gained traction when Abhishek and Aishwarya arrived separately at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding last month. The gossip was further fueled when Abhishek liked an Instagram post discussing the increasing trend of 'grey divorces.' Now an old video of Abhishek Bachchan, addressing the speculation about things not going well in his marriage with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, is going viral.


What Abhishek Bachchan said


Abhishek addressed the status of his marriage just days after attending the premiere of Aishwarya's 2016 film Sarbjit. When a reporter asked him if their recent public appearances suggested any issues between them, Abhishek responded, "I don't have to say anything to you all about that. You all have blown the entire thing out of proportion, sadly. But I understand why you do it. You all have to file some stories. It’s okay, we’re celebrities, we have to take it. Still married, sorry."


Instagram post that Abhishek Bachchan liked


The Instagram post that Abhishek liked, read, "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? 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." 


Abhishek Bachchan's deepfake video


Earlier Abhishek Bachchan's deepfake was making rounds on Instagram. The shows Abhishek allegedly stating, "This July, Aishwarya and I have decided to get divorced." The video was posted with a caption that read, "I do not know the authenticity of the video, whether it is true or fabricated. Until now, rumours abound day after day, and none of them have spoken out."
