Rumors of a rift between Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have been making headlines for some time. Despite the ongoing speculation, new reports suggest that the couple is unlikely to ever officially divorce. One of the primary reasons for this is rooted in the Bachchan family tradition—there has never been a divorce within the family.

This longstanding tradition is believed to be a significant factor in why Abhishek and Aishwarya, even if they face challenges, would not consider separating legally.

The tradition is so strong that even when Abhishek’s engagement to Karisma Kapoor was called off, and a rift was reported between Shweta Bachchan and her husband Nikhil Nanda (who is related to Karisma), the couple remained married. Despite living in different cities—Shweta in Mumbai and Nikhil in Delhi—they continue to stay together and are often seen at public events.

Over the years, there have also been rumors of tension between Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, but these rumors never affected their marriage. Although neither Abhishek nor Aishwarya has confirmed any rift, many believe that even if they lived separate lives, they would not pursue a divorce, as it contradicts the family’s values.

Abhishek and Aishwarya married in April 2007 and have a daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, born in November 2011.
