Known for his calm and humble demeanor, Abhishek has largely avoided controversies, but recent events seem to have tested his patience.

Abhishek Bachchan Once Revealed How Aishwarya Rai Calms Him Down When He  Comes Home Irritated

The drama unfolded after a clip from a reality show hosted by Salman Khan went viral, sparking debates across social media.

In the now-controversial episode, Salman Khan was joined by Ajay Devgn and Fardeen Khan as guests.

During the show, a light-hearted discussion took a sharp turn when Ajay was asked which Bollywood couple seemed least compatible.

Smiling, Ajay reportedly referenced an earlier conversation with Salman, where Salman allegedly commented that “his ex’s husband doesn’t suit her at all.”

This thinly veiled remark was interpreted as a dig at Abhishek Bachchan and his wife, Aishwarya Rai, who was previously in a high-profile relationship with Salman.

What added fuel to the fire was that neither Salman nor the show’s producers chose to edit out the segment, allowing it to air unfiltered.

While Abhishek is known for steering clear of such controversies, this time, he seemingly broke his silence in a subtle yet impactful way.

During a recent live interaction with fans, one admirer suggested that Abhishek should focus on building a muscular physique and take on roles that highlight his abs.

In response, Abhishek calmly but pointedly stated, “I show my acting through my face, not my abs.” He further added, “There are people who think building a body is the only way to make a good film, but I believe in letting my work speak for itself.”

Fans were quick to interpret this as a veiled response to Salman Khan, who is known for his action-packed roles and chiseled physique.

Abhishek’s remarks were seen as a dignified way of addressing the ongoing chatter without directly engaging in the controversy.

Interestingly, this incident comes amid persistent rumors about Abhishek and Aishwarya’s marriage.

While the couple has not publicly addressed these rumors, their separate appearances at recent events and cryptic social media posts have kept fans guessing.

Despite the noise, Abhishek has continued to focus on his work and family, refusing to let external distractions affect his public image.

As the controversy continues to simmer, fans and media alike are left wondering about the true nature of the relationship between Salman and Abhishek.

Is this just another case of Bollywood drama being blown out of proportion, or is there more to the story than meets the eye?
