In the clip, Abhishek candidly discussed his stance on commitment and loyalty, expressing strong feelings against infidelity. “Call me old-fashioned, but if you commit to somebody, then abide by that commitment. Otherwise, don’t make it,” he stated. He added, “As a man, if you commit to a woman, even if you get caught up with her boyfriend, you should be loyal to her.

The rumors linking Abhishek with Nimrat Kaur reportedly began after a speculative blind item on Reddit that went viral despite lacking evidence.

Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan subtly dismissed divorce rumors recently by sharing a heartfelt birthday post for Amitabh Bachchan, featuring a picture of him with their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. This post was seen as a statement of unity from the family amidst the swirling speculations.
On the professional front, Abhishek Bachchan will next be seen in Shoojit Sircar’s upcoming film I Want To Talk, adding another project to his versatile portfolio.
