Abhishek Bachchan’s recent remarks at the Filmfare OTT Awards 2024 in Mumbai have captured the internet’s attention, especially as rumors of his separation from wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan swirl. The actor, known for his wit, shared light-hearted advice for married men, which many interpreted as a subtle nod to the ongoing speculation about his personal life.
Abhishek’s “Husband Tips” Go Viral
During the event, Abhishek presented an award to Kareena Kapoor, his co-star from his 2000 debut Refugee. Engaging in a lively exchange with the host, Abhishek was asked how he manages to silence critics with his stellar performances. He responded humorously, saying, “It’s very simple. It has nothing to do with us. We do what the directors tell us to do. Chup chaap kaam karke ghar aa jaate hai (Do your job and go home).”
When the host likened his approach to following a wife’s instructions, Abhishek quipped, “Haan. All married men have to do that… do as your wife says.” The comment, captured in a video shared by Filmfare on Instagram, quickly went viral.
Rumors of Separation Persist
The buzz around Abhishek and Aishwarya’s relationship gained traction when fans noticed his absence from pictures shared by Aishwarya during their daughter Aaradhya’s 13th birthday celebrations. However, the event management company handling the party later released videos showing Abhishek participating in the festivities.
In one clip, Aishwarya thanked the company for their services over the years, while in another, Abhishek expressed his gratitude. These videos seemingly contradicted the rumors, but speculation persists.
The separation rumors began earlier this year when Abhishek and Aishwarya were seen arriving separately at a high-profile wedding in July. Adding fuel to the fire, Abhishek liked an Instagram post discussing the rise of “grey divorces” — a term for couples who part ways after many years of marriage. The post discussed why love can stop being easy in long-term relationships, prompting many to connect it to his personal life.
Fans React
Fans have had mixed reactions to the ongoing rumors and Abhishek’s comments at the awards. While some viewed his statement as playful banter, others speculated about its deeper implications. Meanwhile, both Abhishek and Aishwarya have refrained from directly addressing the rumors, leaving fans guessing about the state of their relationship.
As the couple continues to maintain a dignified silence, their public appearances and actions remain under scrutiny, with fans hoping for clarity in the days ahead.
