The Bachchan family, comprising Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Jaya Bachchan, has been a constant subject of media attention. While family feuds often grab headlines, recent reports have shifted the focus to the dynamics within the Bachchan household.

Amidst the buzz, rumours have circulated about Aishwarya spending more time at her mother’s home than with the Bachchan family.

Amitabh Bachchan’s post comes two days after his actor-son, Abhishek Bachchan made headlines for ‘liking’ a post about divorce.

Amitabh Bachchan took to his X (formerly known as Twitter) handle on late Thurday night to talk about how life is never going to be easy. The actor shared a black and white picture of himself and wrote, “T 5076 – … back to arduous work .. tough .. but life is never easy..”

Amitabh Bachchan’s post comes two days after his actor-son, Abhishek Bachchan made headlines for ‘liking’ a post about divorce. The post, shared by author Heena Khandelwal, featured an image of broken hearts with the words, “When love stops being easy. Couples who have been married are now parting ways. What has prompted their decision and why are grey divorces on the rise?”

The picture was shared with the caption about the article on the rising divorce cases. “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? What drives them to sever ties, and what challenges do they face? This story delves into these questions. Coincidentally, ‘grey divorces’ or ‘silver splitters’—terms for those seeking marital dissolution typically after age 50—are on the rise globally. The reasons, though varied, are not surprising,” the post read.

Abhishek was one of the many people who ‘liked’ the post. This move raised eyebrows as Aishwarya Rai was recently seen posing alone on the red carpet of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant wedding while Abhishek joined his family. A screenshot of Abhishek’s ‘like’ was shared on Reddit and several people took to the comments section to weigh in. While many speculated for the worse, there were also a few who defended Abhishek and said that it might be a general ‘like’ and not related to anything personal.
