A recent Instagram like by Abhishek Bachchan caused a significant buzz online. The actor’s decision to like a post about divorce fueled speculations regarding his potential separation from Aishwarya Rai. This incident intensified rumors about the couple’s marital status, leading to widespread discussions among fans and the media alike.
Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Link To Zirak
A Reddit post has shed light on the actual reason behind Abhishek’s Instagram like, putting many fans’ minds at ease. It turns out that Abhishek liked the post not because he is experiencing a divorce but because the article in question featured contributions from Zirak Marker, a long-time friend of Aishwarya. The post, from The Indian Express’ Eye magazine, lists Zirak as one of its contributors, explaining Abhishek’s supportive gesture.
Fans’ Reactions to the Clarification
Fans expressed relief upon learning the true motive behind Abhishek’s Instagram activity. One Reddit user commented, “So this divorce post, which people took as a confirmation of divorce, is him being a supportive partner and therefore may be a confirmation of not being divorced. Mind blown.” Another user likened the situation to a plot twist in an Abbas-Mastan movie, remarking on the numerous unexpected developments. Yet another fan shared their perspective, stating, “Was I the only one who always felt there was no deeper meaning to him liking the post and was just general appreciation for the post.”
Who is Zirak Marker?
Zirak Marker is a renowned psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who works with both children and adults. He has a long-standing friendship with Aishwarya Rai, dating back to their college days at Jai Hind College in Mumbai. Aishwarya even launched Zirak’s book “Parenting in the Age of Anxiety” in 2016. Zirak and his wife, parent coach Priya Marker, are frequently seen vacationing with Aishwarya, Abhishek, and their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. On Instagram, Abhishek and Zirak follow each other, while Aishwarya, not very active on the platform, only follows Abhishek.
The Origins of Separation Rumors
Speculations about the couple’s separation began when Abhishek and Aishwarya posed separately for photographers at the recent wedding ceremonies of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. While Abhishek posed with the Bachchan and Nanda families, Aishwarya was photographed with their daughter Aaradhya. Despite this, Aishwarya and Aaradhya were later seen sitting with Abhishek during the ceremony, contradicting the separation rumors.
Upcoming Projects for Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai
Abhishek Bachchan has some exciting projects lined up. He will be seen in Shoojit Sircar’s next film and will play the chief antagonist in Sujoy Ghosh’s “King.” Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai was last seen in the film “Ponniyin Selvan: II,” continuing to make her mark in the industry.
