Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Breaks Silence on ‘Shocking’ Tree Marriage Rumors

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently found herself at the center of a bizarre controversy involving rumors about her supposedly planning to get married again – to a tree. The actress, who has been married to actor Abhishek Bachchan for over 14 years and is the proud mother of their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, broke her silence on these “shocking” rumors.

The rumors began years ago, prior to Aishwarya’s marriage to Abhishek in 2007, when reports surfaced claiming that she would perform a ritual puja and marry a tree to ward off bad omens. The story gained traction and quickly became a topic of discussion, but Aishwarya has finally addressed the rumors, calling them completely false.

Speaking about the ‘tree marriage’ controversy, Aishwarya revealed that she felt embarrassed every time foreign journalists asked her about it during her international travels. “It is so unnecessary,” she shared, recalling the days leading up to her marriage. “There were a couple of incidents, but why give it any more attention?” Aishwarya explained how covering the controversy felt like a waste of time and energy, and how she found it utterly irrelevant.

She also shared how her family chose to address the rumors, emphasizing that they decided to stay silent initially. They decided that no further attention should be given to the fabricated story, and chose to move on from it. Despite the ridiculousness of the claims, the incident still followed Aishwarya throughout her career.

In more recent news, Aishwarya’s recent family photo sparked additional speculation when she was seen cropping out Jaya Bachchan and Shweta Nanda from the picture. While the reason for this edit remains unclear, it has led to further rumors about tension within the Bachchan family.
