Meanwhile, a video of the actor went viral on social media, where he was seen stating that he and Aishwarya were getting a divorce. However, it was an AI-generated deepfake video. After this video went viral, Abhishek has now broken his silence on the divorce rumors.

Recently, in an interview with Bollywood UK media, Abhishek Bachchan addressed questions about the divorce and showed his wedding ring, stating, “I am still married.” He further said, “I have nothing to say to you all.
