Abhishek Bachchan Doesn't Need...: Woman, Whose Post On Rise In Divorces Actor Liked, Clears The Air

It seems like all is not well in Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai's marriage. Speculations have been rife about the couple hitting a rough patch in their relationship, with their separate appearances at public events further hinting at the same. Recently, Abhishek's online activity piqued the curiosity of the netizens. On Instagram, he liked a post on the rise in the cases of 'grey divorces' or 'silver splitters'.

Now, Heena Khandelwal, who shared the post originally, has reacted to the same.

'I was elated when Abhishek liked the post...'

Heena reacted to the widespread coverage that Abhishek's Instagram activity, with regard to her post, generated in the media. While she claimed that she did not know what was going on in Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai's personal life, the post has touched many.

Her new post read, "Thank you for expressing interest in my story titled 'When Love Stops Being Easy'. This story, which delves into the experiences of individuals who parted ways after being together for decades, has touched many. I was elated when Abhishek Bachchan liked the post. It is an achievement for any writer or journalist when their work is well-received. However, subsequent events tempered my celebration."

Heena added, "I am not familiar with his personal life, but it seems his single like on the post has been blown out of proportion. While he certainly doesn't need me to defend him, I feel a bit disheartened that my Instagram story highlighting his like has contributed to this situation. For your information, this post has garnered as many saves and shares as likes. Many people, including those who did not like or comment on the post, have reached out to me to express their appreciation for both. The story and its subject matter. This response is quite telling."

Aishwarya Rai fuels speculations about rift with Bachchan family

At the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, while the Bachchan family showed up in full strength, Aishwarya Rai arrived separately with her daughter Aaradhya. A day later, at the couple's shubh aashirwad, the PS II actress skipped a joint appearance with her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan. This led to hearsay around their marriage.  

Aishwarya and Abhishek tied the knot in 2007 and welcomed their daughter Aaradhya in 2011.
