Bollywood actors Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, who have been married for 18 years now, are often seen making headlines because of their relationship. Over the past few years, reports claiming that there is trouble in their paradise and that the couple is headed for divorce have been doing rounds. Although neither of them commented on the rumours, they have shut them down silently in their own way. Now, filmmaker Prahlad Kakar, who is also Aishwarya’s neighbour, busted the reports of the actress living separately from husband Abhishek Bachchan and also reflected on the divorce rumours not being true.
Prahlad Kakar on Aishwarshya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan`s divorce rumours
Prahlad, who lives in the same building as Aishwarya Rai`s mother, in a recent interview with Vickey Lalwani, shared that she often visits her mother since her mother has not been keeping well. He reveals that Aishwarya usually drops her daughter off at school and later picks her up. In the meantime, she spends time with her mother. Prahlad also emphasised that Aishwarya is very close to her mother and deeply concerned about her.
When asked about the rumours that Aishwarya didn’t get along with Jaya Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan and thus moved to her mother’s house, Prahlad stated, “So what? She is the bahu of the house and she still runs the house. I knew there was no truth in it. Because I knew why she was there. People were saying she was escaping from her marriage and living with her mother. She wasn’t living with her mother. She was just coming and spending time with her while her daughter was at school. And she didn’t come on Sundays.”
He further added, “I knew her concerns for her mother. Sometimes, Abhishek also came with her to visit her mother. Why would he come if there was anything like this? If you notice, neither Abhishek nor Aishwarya have given a comment on this. Why should they? Tum Bhaukte raho. She has always kept her dignity and journalists hated her for that.”
Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s relationship
Abhishek and Aishwarya fell in love on the sets while working on Umrao Jaan and Guru. They tied the knot in April 2007 in a private wedding ceremony. The couple later welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, in 2011.
Back in 2024, the rumours about trouble in Aishwarya and Abhishek`s marriage began when the actress and her daughter arrived for Anant Ambani’s wedding separately from the rest of the family, including Amitabh, Jaya, Abhishek, Shweta, Agastya Nanda, and Navya Nanda. This sparked speculations about their separation. Amid this, reports of Aishwarya and Abhishek living separately also began doing rounds.
