Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan have been in the limelight due to divorce rumours circulating online. The couple tied the knot in 2007, and in 2011, they were blessed with a baby girl, whom they named Aaradhya Bachchan. Amid the speculation about Aishwarya and Abhishek’s divorce, an old whisper regarding Aishwarya being unlucky for the Bachchan family has resurfaced. When the rumours were rampant, Amitabh clarified everything in an interview a few months after the wedding.
In an earlier interview with Mid-Day, Amitabh Bachchan expressed his anger and disappointment over the viral rumours. The Big B said, “This is very insensitive. First, there were reports about her being a Manglik before marriage, then rumours of her marrying a tree, and now this. Every day there is some prediction about what she is, and what her future will be—‘Yeh jis ghar mein jayegi, uska father-in-law mar jayega’ (her father-in-law will die). Aishwarya is not unlucky for us! Whatever is fated will happen.”
“It’s all very well for the media to speculate and write, but has anyone thought about what she and her family must be going through? The worst is that the speculation has not stopped. ‘Yeh ho gaya, woh ho gaya’ (this has happened, that has happened) — all because of Aishwarya! Do they have any idea what she and Abhishek are really going through? What’s marriage but the belief between two people? It’s not scientific or ritualistic; it’s about two minds connecting. This is my wife, and she will be my wife for the rest of my life. That’s it,” Big B added.
The couple held a private wedding ceremony, tying the knot at Amitabh’s residence, Jalsa, in Mumbai. Security at the venue was stringent, with only a select group of guests invited to the occasion.
Now, more than 17 years after their wedding, Abhishek and Aishwarya are parents to a teenage daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. The family resides with the Bachchans in Mumbai.
