Since the rumours surfaced, she has faced significant backlash on social media, with some accusing her of being involved in the breakdown of Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai’s marriage.
However, a source close to the Bachchan family has dismissed these allegations, calling them “mischievous, malicious, and utter rubbish.” The source stated, “There is not an iota of truth to these rumors. We wonder why the lady (Nimrat Kaur) has not issued a denial. Abhishek is keeping silent as he has a lot going on in his life right now and has been advised to avoid any controversies.”
Nimrat had also addressed the rumours, stating that no matter what she does, people will always say what they want. She further explained that gossip is inevitable, so she chooses to focus on her work instead.
