Recently, Aishwarya Rai's 'mehendi' pictures went viral once again as speculations about her and Abhishek Bachchan's divorce continue to spread.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan were once hailed as a Bollywood power couple. However, for the past few months, they have been dragged into the headlines as rumours about their impending divorce abound. Not only that, there have also been speculations about Aishwarya having tiffs with various members of her family while Abhishek was bashed for an alleged affair with Nimrat Kaur. On their part, the couple has maintained a dignified silence about the gossip so far. Amid the ongoing speculations, Aishwarya's mehendi pictures have gone viral once again.
Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan have been plagued with divorce rumours for a while now, but the couple has refrained from commenting on the same. As the speculations continue, past photos, videos, and even comments of the couple continue to go viral as netizens analyse them for clues. Most recently, Aishwarya's pictures from her mehendi ceremony broke the internet again.
For the unversed, Aishwarya and Abhishek tied the knot in an intimate yet grand ceremony on April 20, 2007. She had a mehendi ceremony as part of her pre-wedding festivities, for which she donned an elegant baby pink lehenga featuring intricate sequin and thread detailing. Her lehenga was paired with a long choli.
In a unique twist, Aishwarya ditched traditional jewellery. Instead, she opted for accessories made with flowers, including a long necklace, bajubandh, earrings, and matha patti. Her luscious locks were pulled back in a sleek bun that was adorned with a gajra. In the viral pictures, Aishwarya wore a radiant smile while getting her mehendi done on her palms and feet. The Dhoom 2 actress' pure joy reflected the ceremony's essence and her deep love for her then-to-be-husband, Abhishek.
Netizens had a lot of opinions about the resurfaced pics, with one writing, "poor Aishwarya unlucky in love." Another user wrote, "She lost when she married that man, and he is nothing, she made her something, and he also benefited from her name and fame. But she is still beautiful."
For the past few months, the Bachchan family has dominated the headlines for reported tiffs between family members and speculations about Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's impending divorce. The rumours first surfaced when Aishwarya and Abhishek were spotted arriving separately at different events, including the Ambani wedding.
Not long after, speculations about an alleged affair between Abhishek and his Dasvi costar, Nimrat Kaur started spreading like wildfire. Then, fuel was added to the fire when the entire Bachchan family skipped wishing Aishwarya on her 51st birthday. Among many other incidents, the most recent development that netizens see as a sign of not everything being well with the couple was Aishwarya making an appearance at an event under her maiden name. The actress appeared at the Global Women Forums 2024, where a screen displayed her name without her husband's surname 'Bachchan.'
Most of the Bachchan family members have kept mum about the ongoing speculations. However, Amitabh Bachchan finally reacted to the gossip in a lengthy blog post that discussed 'speculations' and 'unverified truths.' Prior to that, the veteran actor had dropped a couple of cryptic tweets that raised eyebrows. One such tweet had a single word, "Chup" and an angry emoji, while another could be read as, "Chup chap, chidi ka baap." In yet another tweet, Big B wrote:
"Ho gaya tha kaam, phir aur kaam aa gaya; kuchh shabd sunane the unako, jinake paas nahin rahee haya."
The exact meaning of Amitabh's tweets is still unclear. However, netizens believe they might be a reaction to the ongoing gossip about his son and daughter-in-law's relationship. As of now, no one from the Bachchan family has confirmed these speculations.
