Ever since Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan arrived and posed separately at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding, there has been a spike in speculations around the couple’s marriage. It’s not the first time the duo has been rumored for the alleged separation, but this time it’s a lot more fuel to the fire. Abhishek ‘liked’ a post on divorce which has left netizens baffled and guessing about his and Aishwarya’s marital status. The post, a snippet of an article shared by a journalist read, “Divorce is never easy for anyone. Who doesn’t dream of a happily ever after or envision recreating those heartwarming videos of elderly couples holding hands as they cross the street? Yet, sometimes life doesn’t unfold as we hoped. But how do people cope when they separate after decades together, after spending a significant portion of their lives relying on each other for both big and small things? What drives them to sever ties, and what challenges do they face? This story delves into these questions. Coincidentally, ‘grey divorces’ or ‘silver splitters’—terms for those seeking marital dissolution typically after age 50—are on the rise globally. The reasons, though varied, are not surprising.”

Global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas celebrates her birthday on July 18. The former Miss World, who has been on a mission to empower women ever since she wore the crown at the tender age of 18, has time and again fought for the rights of her kind. In 2017, speaking to Variety, Priyanka proudly called herself a feminist and said she did not understand those who denounced the label. Priyanka said, “I see so many girlfriends of mine who are like, ‘No I’m not that much of a feminist.’ I don’t even understand that. The need for feminism was created because there were no rights for women. That’s why there is not a man-ism, because they always had it. Feminism is not berating or hating men or disliking or trying to make sure we’re better than men. Feminism is just saying give me opportunities without judging me for the decisions that I make, the same freedom that men have enjoyed for so many centuries. Feminism needs men. It needs the men in their lives to stand up for their mothers, their sisters, their girlfriends, their wives, their daughters and say that I’m going to change the game for my future generation.” In 2018, Priyanka was at the Global Education & Skills Forum in Dubai when she was asked, ‘Why is that a feminist never take up a stand for a man who is physically abused? Physiologically men and women are different. There is no debate about it. When we talk about equality and opportunity, we talk about cerebral opportunity. We are not saying we want to be able to be like a 200-pound man and beat the sh*t out of somebody else. We are not saying that. We are saying you give the ability to get the job, to be the CEO, and nobody questions when you’re driven at 50 and have three children, how you managing, don’t question me at all. That’s what I am saying. I can be a CEO and a mother.”
