Simi Garewal Defends Abhishek Bachchan Amid Aishwarya Rai Divorce Rumors, Calls Him “Nicest Man in Bollywood” Before Deleting Post
Simi Garewal recently shared a throwback clip featuring Abhishek Bachchan that gained attention amidst rumors about his marriage to Aishwarya Rai. In the video, Abhishek shared heartfelt insights on loyalty and commitment in relationships, which resonated with many, especially given the context of the ongoing speculation. Simi praised Abhishek as one of the ‘nicest men’ in Bollywood. However, after receiving backlash online, she decided to delete her post.
The vintage clip came from Simi’s acclaimed show *Rendezvous with Simi Garewal*, where Abhishek was interviewed in 2003. During their conversation, he openly discussed his views on relationships, highlighting the importance of staying true to one’s commitments. Abhishek remarked that while there’s nothing wrong with having fun, once a person makes a commitment, they should honor it—or avoid making it in the first place.
He further explained his belief in loyalty, challenging the notion that men are inherently disloyal. Abhishek expressed frustration with this stereotype, asserting that loyalty should be the foundation of any committed relationship. His statements revealed a strong sense of integrity and respect for commitment, which many fans found admirable.
In sharing the video, Simi wrote, “Rendezvous Gems. I think everyone who knows Abhishek personally will agree he is among the nicest men in Bollywood. Good values and innate decency.” Filmmaker Farah Khan supported Simi’s praise, commenting in agreement and reaffirming Abhishek’s reputation as one of the kindest figures in the industry.
Speculation about the state of Abhishek and Aishwarya’s marriage surfaced after the Bachchan family did not publicly wish Aishwarya on her birthday. The rumors were further fueled during Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding, where the Bachchan family appeared together, but Aishwarya and their daughter Aaradhya were seen separately.
On the career front, Abhishek Bachchan is set to appear in *I Want To Talk*, directed by Shoojit Sircar, and has projects like *Be Happy* and *Housefull 5* lined up. He was last seen in R. Balki’s *Ghoomer*.
