Abhishek Bachan and Aishwarya Rai Part Ways: Reports

Speculations are rife regarding the marriage of Bollywood’s power couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai after Abhishek’s reaction to a divorce-related post on Instagram. According to a July 18 piece by the Hindustan Times, Abhishek hit the “like” button on a post by an Indian journalist who was commenting on the difficult decision of divorce. This minor action flooded the rumor mill with regard to his marriage to Aishwarya Rai.

The painful truth about divorce on the Instagram post that caught Abhishek’s attention spoke of the hope for “happily ever after” and how couples face very difficult life adjustments post-separation, more so when a marriage has lasted for long. It brought out an increasing phenomenon of “grey divorces” or “silver splitters,” which corresponds to divorces later in life, often after the age of 50.
