Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made headlines as they arrived separately at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding. Amid separation rumours, Abhishek liked a social media post discussing the challenges of divorce and the rising trend of ‘grey divorces.’
The post, shared by author Heena Khandelwal, featured an image with the words, ‘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 picture was accompanied by a caption discussing the rise in divorce cases.
‘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,’ the post read.
Abhishek was among the many people who ‘liked’ the post, which raised eyebrows. A screenshot of his like was shared on Reddit, prompting various comments. While some speculated about the implications, others defended Abhishek, suggesting it might be a general like unrelated to anything personal.
Aishwarya walked the red carpet at the Ambani wedding along with her daughter, Aaradhya, shortly after Abhishek posed for the cameras with his parents and sister. However, videos and photos from inside the wedding venue revealed that Aishwarya and Aaradhya reunited with Abhishek and attended the wedding together.
Abhishek and Aishwarya have been married for 17 years now.
