Instances like Abhishek liking a post about divorce and giving a lackluster birthday wish to Aishwarya on her 50th birthday have worried their fans. Despite the rumors, neither has addressed the speculations publicly. One significant moment was during the premiere of Aishwarya’s film, Sarabjit.
During the 2016 premiere of Sarabjit, the Bachchan and Rai families gathered together. However, Abhishek Bachchan’s behavior became a talking point.
While posing for photographers, they asked for solo shots of Aishwarya, which led to Abhishek walking away angrily, leaving Aishwarya visibly upset and embarrassed. The media captured this moment, highlighting Abhishek’s abrupt exit and Aishwarya’s awkwardness.

Attempts to call Abhishek back were unsuccessful, and Aishwarya, in an effort to manage the situation, also refrained from posing further. A source close to the couple later clarified that there was no trouble between them. Abhishek wanted the spotlight to remain on Aishwarya and her film, which is why he stepped aside.
Rumors about their relationship troubles resurfaced when Abhishek posted a dry birthday wish for Aishwarya. Despite appearances together, netizens sensed a disconnect. Reports even claimed that Aishwarya had moved out of the Bachchan residence, Jalsa, and was living separately with Aaradhya.
Abhishek and Aishwarya’s love story began on the sets of Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke (2000) and Kuch Naa Kaho (2003). They developed feelings for each other while working on Umrao Jaan, Guru, and Dhoom 2. Abhishek proposed to Aishwarya during the premiere of Guru, and they married on April 20, 2007.
Despite many signs suggesting a rift, it is hoped that these reports are mere speculations.
