Abhishek Bachchan Addresses Rumours of Marital Trouble with Aishwarya Rai

Abhishek Bachchan has finally spoken out about the persistent rumours surrounding his marriage to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. For over a year, speculation about the couple's alleged marital discord has circulated online and in the media. Despite this, Abhishek and Aishwarya have continued to make public appearances together and share family moments on social media, offering no official comment—until now.

During promotions for his upcoming digital film Kaalidhar Laapata, Abhishek addressed the emotional toll of media speculation. In an interview with ETimes, he expressed how upsetting it is to read baseless stories, especially now that he has a family. “You’re not me; you don’t live my life,” he said, calling out the cruelty of anonymous online negativity. He added that attempting to correct these narratives is often futile, as even clarifications are misrepresented.

The actor stressed how such attacks affect not just public figures but their loved ones too. “No matter how thick-skinned someone is, it hurts,” he said. Abhishek and Aishwarya married in 2007 and have a daughter, Aaradhya. The two have co-starred in films like Guru, Dhoom 2, and Kuch Naa Kaho.

Kaaldihar Laapata, which also features Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and newcomer Daivik Bhagela, tells the story of a lonely, middle-aged man facing memory loss. Directed by Madhumita, the film premieres on ZEE5 on July 4.
