(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Amidst reports of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's separation, a deepfake video has appeared on social media showing the former announcing his divorce. This footage emerged just as the couple's relationship status became a major subject. The popular video has obvious lip-syncing difficulties, prompting netizens to question its validity.
In the AI-generated video, Abhishek is heard saying, "...This July, Aishwarya and I have decided to get divorced." It was shared on Instagram with the caption, "I do not know the authenticity of the video, whether it is true or fabricated. Until now, rumours abound day after day, and none of them have spoken out."
However, shortly after the footage aired, netizens pointed out that the video and voice were false and blasted those who had shared it online.

You are the one who's in billions of heart being Aishwariya Rai Bachchan." "What terrible voice over... seriously," read another comment.

In July, both Abhishek and Aishwarya attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding in Mumbai, although they did so separately. Notably, Aishwarya declined to appear with the Bachchan family for the cameras, adding fire to the existing controversy.
Earlier this year, allegations circulated claiming that Aishwarya had left the Bachchan household owing to poor ties with her mother-in-law, renowned actress Jaya Bachchan. This speculation, paired with the couple's different public appearances, has led fans and media outlets to speculate about their relationship status.
Aishwarya and the Bachchan family last appeared together in public during a screening of Agastya Nanda's film The Archies.
