Abhishek Bachchan Breaks Silence on Divorce Rumors With Aishwarya Rai; Reveals How Aaradhya Reacts to Online Gossip
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have been one of Bollywood’s most admired couples for nearly 18 years. The duo, who share a close bond with their daughter Aaradhya, often find themselves at the center of unnecessary online rumors — especially regarding their marriage. While the couple maintains silence on such baseless speculation, fans have always wondered whether these rumors ever impact their teenage daughter.
In a recent conversation, Abhishek finally addressed the curiosity and revealed how Aaradhya processes online chatter. The actor shared that Aishwarya has played a huge role in shaping their daughter’s understanding of the digital world, especially when it comes to celebrity rumors.
“Aaradhya doesn’t believe everything she reads” – Abhishek Bachchan
Opening up about the growing gossip culture, Abhishek said that Aaradhya does not get influenced by online negativity.
He explained,
“I don’t think she is interested in that. And even if she reads something, she won’t believe it. Her mother has taught her not to trust everything she sees online.”
The actor added that honesty within the family has always been the foundation of their household. Because of this transparency, Aaradhya never feels the need to question anything she hears from outside sources.
Aaradhya doesn’t use a phone — “That was our decision years ago”
Surprisingly, Abhishek also revealed that Aaradhya doesn’t even use a phone yet, despite being 14 years old.
“She doesn’t have a phone. If her friends want to reach her, they have to call Aishwarya’s number. We had decided this long ago,” he shared.
In a time when most teens are glued to screens, the Bachchan family’s intentional choice speaks volumes about the value they place on real-world experiences and privacy.
Aishwarya Rai’s upbringing praised by Abhishek
Speaking warmly about his wife, Abhishek said that Aishwarya has taught Aaradhya to respect the film industry and appreciate the life they have because of cinema and its audience.
“Aishwarya has instilled a great respect for our work in Aaradhya. She understands that whatever we have is because of films and the people who watch them,” he said.
He added that Aaradhya is a confident teenager with strong opinions — opinions they discuss privately within the household.
What’s next for Abhishek Bachchan?
On the professional front, Abhishek was last seen in Shoojit Sircar’s I Want To Talk, where his performance earned widespread praise. He is now gearing up for a villainous role in Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming mega entertainer King, which has already generated strong buzz.
