Bollywood actors Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai have been wed for eighteen years.

But there were rumours that the couple was divorcing last year. Despite not responding to the rumours, they both silently put an end to them by showing up together at events.

How Rumours About Aishwarya Began

Filmmaker Prahlad Kakar, who also happens to be Aishwarya's neighbour, recently spoke with Vickey Lalwani about why the actress frequently visits her mother's house and how the divorce rumours are untrue.

Why Aishwarya Spends Time at Her Mother’s Home

Prahlad, who shares a building with Aishwarya Rai's mother, revealed that she frequently goes to see her because she hasn't been feeling well.

He claims that Aishwarya typically drops off and then picks up her daughter from school, spending time with her mother in the interim. He emphasised how close Aishwarya is to her mother and how worried she is about her.

When further asked about the rumours that Aishwarya didn’t get along with Jaya Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan and thus moved to her mother’s house, Prahlad said, “So what? She is the bahu of the house and she still runs the house. I knew there was no truth in it. Because I knew why she was there. People were saying she was escaping from her marriage and living with her mother. She wasn’t living with her mother. She was just coming and spending time with her while her daughter was at school. And she didn’t come on Sundays.”

He added, “I knew her concerns for her mother. Sometimes, Abhishek also came with her to visit her mother. Why would he come if there was anything like this? If you notice, neither Abhishek nor Aishwarya have given a comment on this. Why should they? Tum Bhaukte raho. She has always kept her dignity and journalists hated her for that.”
