Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan are all over the news for reports about their marriage hitting a rough patch. While people are claiming all is not well between the duo, Aishwarya and Abhishek are trying their best to keep it normal on social media. However, it's been many months since we spotted the couple together, which is giving rise to more murmurs.
