Dragging another woman into a celebrity couple's divorce has become the go-to cheap shot. Remember how Samantha Ruth Prabha was pulled into the spotlight during Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya's engagement? Now it's Nimrat Kaur being smeared in Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek's rumoured split. The sexist gossip and baseless memes not only disrespect these women but also fuel toxic narratives that have real consequences.
FYI: Dragging A Woman Into Another’s Marriage Isn't Hot Tea
The relationship between Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan has been under intense public scrutiny for a while, with various rumours and speculations surrounding their marriage. Countless theories have tried to explain the couple’s supposed issues, but at the end of the day, only Aishwarya and Abhishek truly know the state of their relationship. They’ve chosen to keep it private, something the public seems unwilling to accept. Whether they continue together or part ways, it’s their decision and their journey to define.
However, the rumours crossed the line when a recent Reddit post claimed to reveal the real reason behind their alleged separation. According to the user, Abhishek has been unfaithful with his Dasvi co-star, Nimrat Kaur, leading to the couple living apart. The post doesn't just foster a culture of cheap sensationalism, where truth and sensitivity get buried under " hot tea," but also tries to invade the personal and professional lives of the individuals involved. It’s not just wrong—it’s cruel.

Recently, a simple Instagram like from Abhishek Bachchan sparked significant speculation online. When he liked a post concerning divorce, it reignited rumours about a potential separation from his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
'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."

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.
