While the couple has remained silent on the matter, fans have started revisiting old interviews and posts, leading to widespread speculation. One notable find was Aishwarya's slambook entry where she addressed "My Sorrows" by stating, “are mine.”

In the slambook, she also mentioned what turns her on: “The one who’ll lead me to ‘the light’ even in the dark.” When asked, “I love…” she expressed, “The idea of being in love, being in love and love.” Aishwarya cited her strength as stemming from “The honest love and faith the few but dear ones have for and in me.” Regarding her biggest asset, she declared, “Genuineness (Nothing about me is plastic).” Although she appreciates success, she admitted that she hasn’t fully processed it and intends to avoid “stooping” to the level of malicious individuals. She even shared her “favorite bedroom line” and thoughts on her sex appeal.

Speculations about their marriage troubles intensified after Aishwarya attended an Ambani wedding with their daughter instead of the Bachchan family, and Abhishek's online activity—specifically liking a post about divorce—added to the rumors.
