Social media has become abuzz with speculation surrounding the relationship status of Bollywood power couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Amidst rumors of a potential split after nearly 16 years of marriage, eagle-eyed netizens have noted a supposed development on Instagram – the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, father-in-law to Aishwarya, has allegedly unfollowed her on the platform.
The whispers of trouble in paradise for Abhishek and Aishwarya have gained momentum on various news outlets and social media platforms. According to many reports and observant fans, Amitabh Bachchan, an active presence on Instagram, has opted not to follow his daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, fueling speculation about strained family ties.
As of now, Amitabh Bachchan's Instagram account reportedly follows 74 individuals, including notable figures like Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Virat Kohli, Shweta Bachchan Nanda, Navya Naveli Nanda, and others. In contrast, Aishwarya exclusively follows her husband, Abhishek Bachchan.
A prominent news source, has been unable to independently verify whether Amitabh Bachchan previously followed Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on Instagram, intensifying the debate's uncertainty.
The discussion surrounding Amitabh's alleged unfollowing of Aishwarya has even reached the online community Reddit, where users express divergent opinions. Some assert that the two never followed each other, while others question the motivation behind the reported action.
Speculations of a rift gained traction when Abhishek Bachchan was spotted at a Delhi event without his wedding ring. A Reddit user highlighted this, stating, "Abhishek isn't wearing his wedding ring anymore in his recent appearances; up until now, he has always worn it."
Despite the swirling rumors, Abhishek and Aishwarya displayed unity by attending the Mumbai screening of 'The Archies' on December 5. The entire Bachchan family graced the star-studded event, showcasing solidarity amid the ongoing speculations.
