'Still married, sorry': Abhishek Bachchan breaks silence on divorce rumours with Aishwarya
Mumbai/IBNS: Ever since celebrity couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made separate entries at the Ambani wedding, speculations about their divorce have been rife.
The actress attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding ceremony in July with her daughter Aaradhya while Abhishek did so with his family.
Reports even claimed that Aishwarya was having problems with her in-laws and had relocated from the Bachchan family.
Breaking his silence over the issue finally, Abhishek in an interview with UK media, said: "I don't have to say anything to you all about that. I think 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."
He showed off his wedding ring to dismiss the rumours.
The fuel to their divorce rumours was when the Guru actor grabbed attention for liking an Instagram post related to divorce. The text on the post read, "When love stops being easy."
The caption was, "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?"
Abhishek and Aishwarya tied the knot in a grand ceremony in 2007 and welcomed their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan in 2011. The grand wedding was hosted at Abhishek's father, megastar Amitabh Bachchan's Juhu bungalow named Prateeksha. The couple welcomed their first child — Aaradhya — in November 2011.
On their 17th wedding anniversary this year in April, Aishwarya picked a throwback picture from their wedding album. The photo is from their engagement ceremony. The actress simply dropped a handful of emojis in the caption.
