In a candid moment captured on video, Abhishek Bachchan dismissed the divorce rumours in a way that left little room for doubt. Speaking to the media, he showcased his wedding ring as a symbol of his commitment and declared that he is "still married" to Aishwarya.
His response was clear and to the point, as he addressed the rumours by saying, "I don’t have anything to say to you all about that (the rumours). You all have blown the entire thing out of proportion, sadly. I understand why you do it. You have to file some stories. It’s okay, we’re celebrities, we have to take it. Still married, sorry."
The couple, who tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in 2007, have been one of Bollywood's most admired pairs. Their marriage, which has spanned over 17 years, has weathered many ups and downs, including the relentless scrutiny of the public and media. They are parents to their daughter Aaradhya, who was born in November 2011.
Abhishek and Aishwarya have also shared the screen in several successful films, including Guru, Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke, Kuch Naa Kaho, Dhoom 2, and Umrao Jaan.
