When Abhishek Bachchan Stood Up For Aishwarya Rai On Social Media

An Instagram post by Abhishek Bachchan recently created quite a buzz online. When he liked a post about divorce, it fueled rumours of a possible separation from his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. However, fans were relieved to discover the real reason behind Abhishek’s likes.

Abhishek liked the post, not because he is experiencing a divorce, but because Zirak Marker, a longtime friend of Aishwarya, contributed to the article the post referred to. The article in The Indian Express’ Eye magazine lists Zirak as one of the contributors. Zirak is a renowned psychiatrist and psychoanalyst for children and adults. His connection with Aishwarya goes back to their days at Jai Hind College in Mumbai. Aishwarya even launched his 2016 book, Parenting in the Age of Anxiety. Zirak and his wife, parent coach Priya Marker, are often seen vacationing with Aishwarya, Abhishek, and their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.

Fans were relieved to realise the true reason behind Abhishek’s Instagram likes. One user commented on a Reddit post, “So this divorce post, which people took as a confirmation of divorce, is him being a supportive partner and therefore may be a confirmation of not being divorced. Mind blown.”

In addition to this, another adorable gesture by Abhishek has captured the audience’s hearts. Recently, paparazzi snapped Abhishek with rumoured lovebirds Agastya Nanda and Suhana Khan. Photos of Abhishek’s new car surfaced online, and paparazzo account Yogen Shah shared on Instagram that the actor’s new car number is 5050, which is Aishwarya’s favourite number.

Moreover, Abhishek Bachchan not only joined Aishwarya Rai’s Ponniyin Selvan 2 screening but also shared his review of Ponniyin Selvan 2 on Twitter in 2023. He praised the film, saying, “#PS2 is absolutely fantastic! I’m at a loss for words right now, feeling so overwhelmed. Kudos to the entire team, including #ManiRatnam, @chiyaan, @trishtrashers, @actor_jayamravi, @Karthi_Offl, and the rest of the cast and crew. I’m especially proud of my wife. This is her best performance yet. #AishwaryaRaiBachchan.”

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan dated for a short period before Abhishek proposed to her in 2007. The couple tied the knot the same year, on April 20, in Mumbai. They welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, in November 2011. Over the years, Abhishek and Aishwarya have co-starred in several films, including Dhoom 2 (2006), Guru (2007), and Raavan (2010), among others.

In April, Abhishek and Aishwarya celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary. They marked the occasion by sharing a sweet photo of themselves on Instagram, continuing their tradition of celebrating their milestones together on social media.
