Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s relationship has been in the public eye for some time now.

Old video of Abhishek Bachchan-Aishwarya Rai surfaces online 

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan appeared on an episode of a popular reality show together in 2010, three years after their marriage. In the episode, the host of the show asks Abhishek if he ever feels ‘torn’ between Jaya and Aishwarya and how he balances them. The actor can be seen humbly giving all the credit to the women in the house.

The host of the show asked Abhishek, “You feel Abhishek, at any point, you’ve been torn between the three women in your life? Because you know, you have the apple of Jaya Aunty’s eyes and Shweta’s (his sister) life and now you have another woman in your life. Have you ever felt that you need to juggle the act at all?” To this Aishwarya Rai wittingly replied, “The only time the wife will be called the other woman.” The actor shared, “Yeah, I think credit has to be given entirely to the girls. I have very little to do with it. What works also is that Maa and her (Aishwarya) are very close. They talk about everything. When a woman first comes to her husband’s house, she feels a bit out of place, evidently and obviously. I think the only person who can truly fill that void is her mother-in-law.” A video of the same was shared by a fan page earlier and has now resurfaced online.

The post shared by Heena Khandelwal, “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 photo spoke about the rising rate of divorces. The caption along the post read, “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.” Abhishek Bachchan was one of the people who ‘liked’ the post. A screenshot of the same is now been circulating online.

Amid Abhishek Bachchan-Aishwarya Rai divorce rumours, Amitabh Bachchan says he wants to catch his son & granddaughter for a deep conversation about Kalki 2898 AD

While the divorce rumours of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have been taking the internet by storm, Amitabh Bachchan, who is basking in the success of Kalki 2898 AD, said that he would like to have a deep conversation with his son and granddaughter Aaradhya about the movie.

For the unversed, Big B portrayed the larger-than-life role of Ashwatthama, a character from the Mahabharata in Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD.

In a new conversation between Nag Ashwin and Amitabh Bachchan shared by the Vyjayanthi Movies YouTube channel, Big B said that he would be interested in talking with younger people about the epic mythological sci-fi. “It’s all very well to ask people coming out of the theatre what they felt, but we need to catch some people, the youngsters, and say, ‘Let’s sit down and have a chat and talk about what did you actually see, what was going through your mind?’ It would make a very interesting subject. I’m going to catch Abhishek and my granddaughter, and have a chat with them,” said the legendary actor.

Expressing his gratitude to Big B, Nag said, “I know you don’t like this, but this is one of the few chances we have to thank you for your patience. The whole country, whoever I speak to, but they say it’s such a pleasure to see you in that avatar. I did a bunch of interviews, and everybody just said, ‘Thank you for giving us this Amitabh Bachchan’.”

Replying to the filmmaker, the actor said, “I just feel that the compliment isn’t to me, it’s to the concept and the character. It speaks volumes about the film. It’s not a compliment about a certain star, and they liked their performance, and so on and so forth… When they compliment a Prabhas or a Deepika, they’re actually complimenting the concept of the director, Nagi, who was able to conceive and put together this story.”
