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 when Abhishek broke the silence and confirmed that they were 'still married'.
'We're Still Married': Truth Behind Abhishek Bachchan's Alleged Recent Comment
In an interview with the Bollywood UK media, he said, "I don't have anything to say to you all about that. You all have blown the entire thing out of proportion, sadly. I understand, why you do it. You have to file some stories. It's okay, we're celebrities, we have to take it.," Times of India reported.
However, after Bachchan's statement went viral, the media house issued an important clarification regarding the circulating statement. The clarification, posted with a caption reading, "Recent fake news claiming an interview of Bollywood UK Media and the origin of this old clip that is in news by Allaccessshowbizz," aimed to clear up the confusion.
The media company, Bollywood UK Media, stated that they have not conducted any recent interviews with Abhishek Bachchan. The clip in question is actually from the Sarbjit movie premiere period and was originally posted by a portal named All Access Showbiz two days ago, giving the impression of being recent. However, the clip is from an old interview with Bollywood Now, and Bollywood UK Media has requested that their name not be associated with this misleading content.
Abhishek-Aishwarya Divorce Rumours
Abhishek liked a 'suggestive' post on Instagram that fans assumed to be a sign of his and Aishwarya's divorce. The gossip escalated when Abhishek and Aishwarya arrived separately and attended different events at the recent Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant wedding.
Turns out, Abhishek liked the Instagram post not because he was 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.
The real reason why Abhishek liked that IG post: Aishwarya’s longtime friend Zirak Marker contributed to the article.

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."
When Abhishek Bachchan Stood Up For Aishwarya Rai On Social Media
This is not the first time Abhishek Bachchan has dismantled the rumours about his 'separation' from Aishwarya. 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 reportedly 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.
