Amid ongoing rumors of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s separation, Amitabh Bachchan addressed the speculation with a cryptic message on his blog and X (formerly Twitter). He criticized those who spread fake news, stating, "There is no shortage of fools" and highlighting how some people hide their misdeeds by spreading negativity about others.

These rumors about the couple’s divorce began circulating after they attended a high-profile wedding separately in July and intensified when Abhishek liked an Instagram post discussing the rise of "grey divorces." However, neither Abhishek nor Aishwarya has confirmed or denied the separation rumors.

The couple married in April 2007 and have a daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, born in 2011. They have worked together in several films, including Guru (2007) and Raavan (2010).
