Amitabh Bachchan, the legendary Bollywood megastar, is no stranger to the constant limelight. With a career spanning over six decades, he continues to be a dominant force in the entertainment industry, captivating audiences with his performances. At 82, he can easily hold his own against younger generations, but being in the public eye means that every aspect of his life is scrutinized—especially his family.

For years, the Bachchan family has been the subject of numerous rumours, particularly concerning the relationship between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan.

Speculation regarding their marriage has often made headlines, with claims of marital strife and potential family disputes. However, until recently, the family chose to remain silent, maintaining their privacy despite the constant barrage of questions.

In a rare move, Amitabh Bachchan has finally broken his silence, addressing these rumours head-on. In his latest blog post, Big B expressed his displeasure over the spread of unverified speculations, revealing his frustration with how personal matters are often misconstrued and sensationalized.”It takes immense courage, conviction, and sincerity to be different and believe in its presence in life. I rarely say much about family because that is my domain, and its privacy is maintained by me,” he began. “Speculations are speculations… they are speculated untruths, without verifications.”

The actor made it clear that he has always kept his family’s matters private, and he stressed that these rumours have no basis. He pointed out that people often spread these speculations without seeking the truth, only to further their own agendas. “Verifications are sought by the seekers to authenticate their business and commercials of the profession they be in,” he wrote, acknowledging that while others may profit from such stories, he chooses to focus on his family’s well-being.

Amitabh also took the opportunity to address the use of the question mark in media reports. He criticized how headlines with a question mark, such as “Is there trouble in Aishwarya-Abhishek’s marriage?” often plant the seed of doubt in readers’ minds, even if the content itself is unsubstantiated. He said, “But untruths… or selected question-marked information can be a legal safeguard for them that inform… but the seed of suspected belief is sown with this most-used emblem—the question mark.”

The superstar highlighted how this method of writing is not just a tactic to raise questions but a subtle way to manipulate the audience into believing the unfounded rumours. “Write and express whatever you like,” he continued, “but when you follow it up with a question mark, you are not only saying that the write may be questionable… but also quite surreptitiously wanting the reader to believe and expand on it, so that your write gets valued and repeated.”

Amitabh Bachchan was equally candid about the broader effects these rumours have, both on those targeted and on the readers. “When the readers react to these untruths or question untruths, positively or negatively, it brings the content much expansion,” he observed. “Those whose job it is to put the words out there are done by doing all this, but it might have its after-effects on the subject.”

The actor questioned the motivations of those who spread false information, pointing out that it can deeply affect the lives of the people involved. “It is my safeguard to write,” he sarcastically concluded, signaling his disapproval of the entire situation while underscoring his right to protect his family.

Amitabh’s comments came at a time when the Bachchan family had already been dealing with a recent media frenzy surrounding Abhishek and actress Nimrat Kaur.

Based purely on unfounded gossip from a Reddit thread, rumors started circulating that the two were involved romantically. Despite there being no truth to the claims, the duo was subjected to unnecessary online bashing, which prompted the Bachchan family to consider legal action.

A report from Times Now revealed that the family was deeply upset by the gossip, particularly because it had come at a time when Abhishek was facing challenges in his personal life.
