Bollywood power couple Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan have once again found themselves at the centre of speculation, with fresh rumours suggesting trouble in their marriage. The buzz intensified after reports claimed that Aishwarya had moved in with her mother, Vrinda Rai, sparking talk of a possible separation.
However, a neighbour close to the actress’s family has now shed light on the situation, attempting to put the rumours to rest. Speaking to a leading entertainment daily, the neighbour revealed: “Aishwarya has always been very close to her mother. She visits frequently and sometimes stays over, especially when Abhishek is travelling for work. This has nothing to do with divorce.”
Social media chatter around the Bachchans has been unusually intense in recent weeks, fueled by Aishwarya’s absence from a few family gatherings and Abhishek’s solo appearances at events. Fans were quick to draw conclusions, interpreting her time at her mother’s residence as a sign of marital discord.
But those close to the family insist the rumours are exaggerated. Another source added, “Both Abhishek and Aishwarya are managing hectic schedules. Just because she spends time at her mother’s home doesn’t mean there’s a rift. People are reading too much into ordinary family life.”
The couple, who tied the knot in 2007, has largely kept their private life away from the spotlight, despite being one of Bollywood’s most celebrated pairs. They share a daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, who often accompanies Aishwarya on her visits to Vrinda Rai’s residence.
While neither Aishwarya nor Abhishek has issued an official statement addressing the rumours, insiders suggest that the chatter is unfounded. For now, it appears that speculation about a looming divorce is just that—speculation.
