New Delhi: These days, rumours are rife that all is not well in the Bachchan family. Aishwarya Rai’s arrival not with the entire Bachchan family but with daughter Aaradhya Bachchan added fuel to the fire. Many fans expressed concern and wondered if all is well between Abhishek and Aish. They even gave different poses for the photo-op.
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai separated?
Adding to the ongoing rumours, Abhishek Bachchan ‘liking’ a post about ‘grey divorce’ on Instagram further cemented the notion that something is amiss between the two. However, neither Abhishek nor Aishwarya has spoken openly on the issue yet.
What is gray divorce?
For those who don’t know, grey divorce is a term used to describe people who get divorced, usually after the age of 50. It refers to an increase in the divorce rate among older (grey-haired) couples in long-standing marriages.
Writer Heena Khandelwal shared a post on Instagram with a picture, “When love is no longer easy. Married couples are now separating. What is the reason behind their decision and why are grey divorce cases on the rise?”
This article was for the Indian Express’ i magazine.
“Divorce is not easy for anyone. Who doesn’t dream of living happily ever after or imagine recreating those heartwarming videos of old couples holding hands as they cross the street? Still, sometimes life is not as we expect. But when people separate after decades of being together, when they have spent a large part of their lives depending on each other for both big and small things, how do they cope? What motivates them to break up, and what challenges do they face? This story delves into these questions in depth. Incidentally, ‘grey divorces’ or ‘silver splitters’ – the term for those seeking marital divorces, usually after the age of 50 – are on the rise worldwide. The reasons for this, however, are varied but not surprising.” It was written in the post.
Abhishek Bachchan was among those who ‘liked’ the post, which caught everyone’s attention. A screenshot of it was shared on Reddit.
Abhishek and Aishwarya got married in 2007 and have a daughter named Aaradhya.
