Abhishek Bachchan has responded firmly to ongoing rumours surrounding his marriage with Aishwarya Rai, clarifying that their 14-year-old daughter Aaradhya remains completely unaware of the speculation. He revealed in an interview that Aaradhya does not own a phone and her limited internet use stays focused on academics. He credited Aishwarya for raising her with maturity and grounding, emphasizing that such rumours hold no relevance in the child’s life. Abhishek dismissed the gossip as baseless and hurtful, noting that people often create false narratives about celebrity families without considering the impact on minors.
The actor also addressed why he and Aishwarya sought legal intervention to protect their daughter and family from online misuse. He shared that years ago they noticed inappropriate and unnecessary content involving their minor child, prompting them to secure legal protection for her personality rights. This action later led him to extend the same protection to his father Amitabh Bachchan, eventually resulting in a landmark ruling safeguarding digital and appearance rights. With the rise of AI-generated content and unauthorised digital manipulation, Abhishek stressed the importance of such measures for all public figures. As more celebrities follow suit, the Bachchan family’s proactive stance highlights growing concerns over online safety, personal dignity, and the ethical use of celebrity images in the digital age.
