Aishwarya Rai’s Shocking Revelation: The Truth Behind Her “Second Marriage” and Ongoing Gossip Mills
Currently, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan remains among the world’s most beautiful women and an icon of Indian cinema. Married to Abhishek Bachchan in 2007, their relationship has long been among fans’ favorites and a subject of admiration for the film industry. But after 17 years of marriage, rumors began circulating over tension in the marriage, and shocking claims over Aishwarya’s “second marriage” began doing the rounds.
The Love Story of Aishwarya and Abhishek
Marriage of Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan has been perhaps the most sought-after Bollywood fairytale. The glamorous duo took their marital vows in the year 2007 with friends, family, and crème de la crème of the Bollywood industry present to watch the wedding take place. Since then, they have been the main headlines when the question has related to the love and affection that a husband can show towards his wife. Media, over the years, has rather depicted the same couple as bonding over love and respect, mainly due to their glamourous public appearances, especially more so during major events of the Bollywood industry.
The couple has a daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, whom she often accompanies to public events. The couple has led a pretty private life, pushing most of their personal issues out of the media limelight. However, of late, controversies regarding their marriage have begun to surface.
Manglik Dosha: The “Second Marriage” Revelation
This shocking news from Aishwarya Rai about her “second marriage” comes from ancient Hindu astrology beliefs related to “Manglik dosha.” Manglik dosha is said to occur when Mars is positioned in certain houses in one’s astrological chart, thereby bringing in difficulties and particularly a lot of complications in marriage. People born under this astrological position are believed to be “Manglik” and require remedial measures before marriage to guard against future problems or misfortunes.
Recently Aishwarya confirmed in an interview that as per Manglik status, she was to marry another before Abhishek. The “second marriage” was not with another human but with a tree or an idol; it’s usually done as a part of rituals to neutralize the Manglik dosha. She explained that she performed these rituals before her marriage to Abhishek, when she was hoping that all mishaps that might befall her due to her horoscope would protect her relationship.
News of Divorce: What’s the Fire Driving the Speculation?
The Mangal dosha and her symbolic “second marriage” due to it only received tremendous media hype because of its talk; however, the growing rumors that Aishwarya and Abhishek are divorcing each other have got the public curious. People on the social networking sites have talked abundantly for the last few months that Aishwarya and Abhishek’s marriage is in a bad state with the whisper of an impending divorce.
Reports seem to indicate that not even the Bachchan household is spared of tensions, as the couple Aishwarya and Abhishek seem to have less time for each other. Since times seem to have changed for the Bachchans, there is so much people can really say about their wedding life. Aishwarya is most of the time spotted attending events with daughter Aaradhya, while Abhishek often attends public events with his parents, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan.
The murmurs are also heard across the borders as Aishwarya has been rarely spotted attending Bachchan family functions. An absence at some key family events has further fueled the claims that all is not well between the couple, even though both parties were engaged in playing it down.
Reaction of Abhishek to the news of Divorce
Abhishek Bachchan spoke out to the growing speculation amidst rumors about his marital life and said that they are just baseless. He insists reports about marital discord are complete lies, media and social networking sites go much about controversies whenever they do not see much of it around in public. As far as Abhishek is concerned, simply because they’re not spotted together at all events does not mean there’s trouble in their marriage.
The actor further said that both he and Aishwarya lead a very hectic schedule professionally, and thereby it is quite natural that they both have different commitments. What frustrated him was how trivial incidents like separate functions being attended are splashed across media and being communicated to the general public.
Impact of Public Scrutiny on Aishwarya and Abhishek’s Relationship
Being from one of the most powerful and star-studded families in Bollywood does not spare Aishwarya and Abhishek from the invasive scrutiny of the media. And speculation against them, most of which focuses on their relationship, has certainly been a burden. In fact, when people like Aishwarya and Abhishek walk on the streets, they never know what kind of scrutiny they are going to face at any given moment.
Aishwarya, in particular, has been under heavy criticism at different points in her career and personal life. Whether it is the relationship with actor Salman Khan or the post-pregnancy body or anything for that matter, there is never a dearth of public opinion regarding her personal life. The current rumors are just another example of how media and curiosity of public can be quite adept at interfering with what was once considered a private celebrity.
Conclusion: Future of Aishwarya and Abhishek’s Marriage
Aishwarya and Abhishek have remained tight-lipped on their divorce rumors and neither of the actors has made any statements in public apart from Abhishek’s statement. Whether the rumors are near to the truth or a far-fetched tale, only time will tell, but seemingly, Aishwarya and Abhishek seem to be going on with their lives.
While the news that Aishwarya is having her “second marriage” may have come as a shock to some, it shows how cultural traditions and believes are still greatly exerting themselves in peoples’ lives, not excluding celebrities. Meanwhile, only time can tell how the Bachchan family would ride through the ongoing excruciating scrutiny. For now, however, fans of Aishwarya and Abhishek would surely be glued to every single move the lovebirds make, waiting for the best for one of Bollywood’s most famed couples.
