Did Amitabh Bachchan unfollow Aishwarya Rai on Instagram?

Amitabh Bachchan consistently captures headlines due to his legendary journey in the film industry.

While his prominence extends beyond the silver screen to the united Bachchan family, a recent development has thrust Amitabh Bachchan into the spotlight for a different reason.

Reports have emerged suggesting that Amitabh Bachchan has chosen to unfollow his daughter-in-law and Bollywood luminary, Aishwarya Rai, on social media.

Despite Big B’s active presence on various social platforms, boasting 36.3 million followers on Instagram, it’s intriguing to note that Aishwarya is conspicuously absent from the list of 74 accounts he follows.

Notably, this list includes his son Abhishek Bachchan and other industry luminaries such as Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone.

Speculation has arisen among fans, hinting at potential discord within the Bachchan family.

Adding to the intrigue, it’s worth mentioning that Aishwarya Rai, with 13.4 million followers on Instagram, does not reciprocate the follow on her official account, where she only follows her husband, Abhishek Bachchan.

Despite recent public appearances, such as the premiere of Amitabh’s grandson Agastya Nanda’s debut film The Archies, where the entire Bachchan clan was present, the underlying reason behind Amitabh’s decision to unfollow Aishwarya or never follow his daughter-in-law on social media remains shrouded in mystery.

This development comes after recent snapshots capturing Abhishek without his wedding ring triggered a frenzy on social media.

Once inseparable, the couple, who exchanged vows on April 20, 2007, and welcomed their daughter Aaradhya on November 16, 2011, now faces relentless scrutiny as fans question the authenticity of their union.

A Reddit user recently shared a collection of images featuring Abhishek Bachchan sans his wedding ring during various recent public appearances.

While Abhishek exuded charm in these photographs, it was the conspicuous absence of his wedding ring that seized the attention of keen-eyed followers.

As these images circulated online, social media platforms were flooded with a mix of concern, conjecture, and clever commentary.

Some opined that the couple might be leading separate lives without formalising a divorce, drawing parallels with other high-profile marriages within the Bachchan family.

Others argued for the acceptance of divorce as a viable option in the modern era, highlighting evolving societal norms.

One Reddit user commented: “No idea how true this is but I always thought that divorce is impossible in the Bachchan family. Did not expect this.”

Another added: “I don’t get this narrative of Abhishek won’t allow a divorce.

Adding fuel to the already blazing rumours, Abhishek’s seemingly terse birthday wish for Aishwarya Rai on her 50th birthday sparked further controversy.

The actor shared a monochromatic image of the stunning actress, accompanied by a succinct “Happy Birthday!”

Fans swiftly interpreted this brevity as a potential sign of discord within the marriage.
