Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan have been at the center of ongoing divorce rumours for some time now. Though the couple has remained silent on the matter, fans have begun revisiting old interviews, posts, and even personal entries, sparking a wave of speculation online. One such moment that has gained renewed attention is Aishwarya’s entry in a slambook, where she touched upon topics like sorrow, love, and personal strength.
In her slambook entry, Aishwarya was asked to reflect on her sorrows, to which she responded, “are mine,” keeping her feelings private. When asked what turns her on, she intriguingly wrote, “The one who’ll lead me to ‘the light’ even in the dark.” On the subject of love, she expressed, “I love… the idea of being in love, being in love, and love,” adding a heartfelt note on her deep connection to the emotion.
Aishwarya also revealed her source of strength, citing “the honest love and faith the few but dear ones have for and in me,” while emphasizing that her biggest asset is her “genuineness,” proudly stating, “Nothing about me is plastic.” She also shared her approach to dealing with negativity, writing that she avoids “stooping” to the level of malicious individuals.
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, who have been married since 2007, were friends long before their romantic relationship blossomed during the filming of Umrao Jaan in 2005-2006. Their connection strengthened while working together on films like Dhoom 2 and Guru, leading to their wedding on April 20, 2007, in a grand yet private ceremony. The couple has now been together for 17 years and shares a daughter, Aaradhya.
However, rumours of trouble in paradise began swirling when Aishwarya attended the Ambani wedding with her daughter instead of the entire Bachchan family. Speculation grew further after Abhishek liked a social media post discussing divorce, adding fuel to the ongoing rumours.
