Former Bollywood actress and talk show host Simi Garewal recently shared a post defending Abhishek Bachchan amid rumours of his divorce from Aishwarya Rai. However, the post didn’t settle well with many social media users and now Simi Garewal has taken it off her handle.
The reports of divorce have been hovering around Abhishek and Aishwarya for months now. The speculations were further heightened when Abhishek and Bachchan’s family members missed sending birthday wishes to Aishwarya earlier this month.
Now amid the rumour mill, Simi took to her social media handle to show her support for the Junior Bachchan (Abhishek) by sharing an old snippet from her talk show. It featured Abhishek and she called him the ‘nicest men’ in Bollywood.
“I think everyone who knows Abhishek personally will agree he is among the nicest men in Bollywood. Good values and innate decency,” she wrote while sharing the post. Director-choreographer Farah Khan echoed Simi’s emotions and commented on the post – “I fully agree! He is just the nicest guy.”
However, the post didn’t go down well with the internet users. Simi had to face a lot of backlash for her video and many slammed her for sharing something like when the couple was going through an alleged turbulence in their relationship. “Very controversial time to put out this… Not fair yaa,” said one netizen.
Following the backlash, Simi Garewal has now pulled down the post. A screenshot of the now-deleted post has been shared on Reddit.
Meanwhile, neither Abhishek nor Aishwarya have made any public comment on the speculations.
