Abhishek and Aishwarya's divorce rumours
In July 2024, both Abhishek and Aishwarya attended the wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Mumbai, but they made separate appearances. Aishwarya chose not to pose with the Bachchan family for the photographers, which added fuel to the ongoing speculation.
Earlier this year, reports surfaced suggesting that Aishwarya had moved out of the Bachchan residence due to strained relations with her mother-in-law, veteran actress Jaya Bachchan. This rumour, combined with the couple’s separate public appearances, has kept fans and media outlets speculating about their relationship status.
The last time Aishwarya and the Bachchan family were seen together publicly was at the screening of Agastya Nanda's film The Archies.
