Aishwarya Rai appears to be subtly signaling that things are fine between her and Abhishek Bachchan. For months, the couple has been the subject of divorce rumors, fueled by their social media behavior and individual public appearances. Despite the ongoing speculation, neither Aishwarya nor Abhishek has confirmed the rumors. Recently, at Paris Fashion Week, Aishwarya seemed to indirectly respond to the gossip by prominently displaying her wedding ring.
In recent months, rumors about Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan‘s marriage and a potential divorce have been circulating. Aishwarya attended Paris Fashion Week with her daughter, Aaradhya, and in a video clip, she was seen wearing a ring on the ring finger of her right hand. This caught attention because she had recently been spotted without her wedding ring at public events. While it’s unclear if the ring she wore is indeed her wedding ring from Abhishek, some Reddit users believe it confirms that the couple is still together.
The Reddit post sparked a variety of reactions. One user commented, “She wanted you people to see her wearing it.” Another added, “On point! There was so much discussion on it.” Someone else chimed in with, “I have never read a better explanation than this one!” Another user speculated, “So they are not divorced but just fighting? I hope that’s the case and everything resolves soon.”
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has faced ongoing divorce rumors, despite being married to Abhishek Bachchan for over 17 years. Speculation about their separation intensified when she appeared solo on the red carpet in July this year. Further fueling the rumors, Abhishek and Aishwarya arrived separately at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s high-profile wedding in Mumbai on July 12. While Abhishek entered the event alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan, Navya Naveli Nanda, and Agastya Nanda, Aishwarya made her entrance later with their daughter Aaradhya.
Around the same period, Abhishek Bachchan caught attention by ‘liking’ an Instagram post that addressed the challenges of love, coinciding with the ongoing separation rumors. The post’s message, “When love stops being easy,” further fueled speculation about the state of his marriage with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai tied the knot in 2007 in a lavish yet private ceremony, attended primarily by close family. A few years after their marriage, they welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya, into their lives.

Eric Roberts, well known for his role in Runaway Train, told a funny story about Robin Williams pranking his sister, Julia Roberts, on her first visit to New York. In his new memoir, Runaway Train: Or the Story of My Life So Far, Eric reveals the surprising moment that left Julia stunned and laughing.
The story took place at Cafe Central, a famous New York cafe frequented by celebrities such as Cher, Al Pacino, and Andy Warhol. Eric Roberts planned a clever prank to impress his younger sister, who was visiting him in the city. He enlisted the help of his famous friend, Robin Williams, who was most known at the time for his part in Mork and Mindy.
Eric recalled telling Robin that his sister would be in town this week, and they had to freak her out for him. Williams quickly agreed, stating, “Yeah, no problem. Okay.”
When the day arrived, Julia and Eric were sitting at a table eating hamburgers. That is when Williams made his move. He walked over, looked at her, opened the door, grabbed her hamburger, and bolted out. Julia caught off guard, yelled, “Was that Robin Williams?!”
Eric laughed and simply replied, “I think it was, honey.” Julia’s reaction was priceless: “He took my hamburger!” Eric Roberts called this prank as a classic Robin Williams move. He said that was Robin being Mork because he was already in that hit show Mork and Mindy, which was tailor-made for his antic spirit.
Williams was known for his spontaneous and energetic personality, and this prank perfectly captured that aspect of him. Eric stated that he was thrilled to have wowed his sister in such an unforgettable manner.
Years later, Julia Roberts and Robin Williams starred together in Steven Spielberg’s Hook in 1991, with Williams playing Peter Pan and Julia playing Tinker Bell.
Beyond the prank, Eric Roberts’ memoir reveals more about his friendship with Robin Williams. The two actors were friends, and Williams regularly advised Eric. He wrote that Robin was constantly giving advice. He also wrote that Williams was a little arrogant about his intelligence.
One memorable piece of advice came when Williams told Eric that he needed to fight against his arrogant appearance. “You look arrogant, dude. People think you are,” Williams said.
“I know you’re not, but people think you are, man, and you gotta fight against that.” Eric agreed with Williams but noted that the perception was hard to shake, despite his true personality.
