Abhishek Bachchan thanks Aishwarya for being at home
Aishwarya has only been a part of Mani Ratnam’s ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ in recent years. In an interview with The Hindu, Abhishek said, “In my household, I’m lucky I get to go out and make movies but I know that Aishwarya is at home with Aaradhya and I thank her immensely for that but I don’t think the kids look at it that way. They don’t look at you as a third person, they look at you as the first person.”
Abhishek Bachchan-Aishwarya Rai divorce rumours
Reports of possible tension in Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s marriage have been circulating for some time. The couple, who tied the knot in a high-profile wedding in 2007, has been making headlines due to divorce speculations. They share a daughter named Aaradhya. 
Abhishek’s alleged closeness to his ‘Dasvi’ co-star, Nimrat Kaur, along with complex family dynamics involving Shweta and Jaya Bachchan, are said to be contributing factors to the rumoured troubles. 
Additionally, during a recent episode of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, Ash’s father-in-law and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan talked about the iconic song “Kajra Re”, referencing Abhishek and Rani Mukerji but notably omitting Aishwarya, who also appeared in the music video as the lead dancer marking a special appearance.
