Abhishek Bachchan is in Paris and attended the Olympic 2024 competition of men's javelin throw yesterday. India's Neeraj Chopra won a silver medal in the game's final with an 89.45-throw, and it is India's fifth medal at the Olympics. Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem won the gold medal, setting a new Olympic record with a throw of 92.97 m in the finals.

Meanwhile, Abhishek Bachchan is alone in Paris, whereas his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Aaradhya Bachchan are in Mumbai. For quite some time, there have been speculations that things are not going well between the couple. It all started when the duo didn't attend Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding together in Mumbai. Aish posed for pictures with daughter Aaradhya, whereas Junior Bachchan entered with Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, and other family members. So far, the couple has not clarified anything, despite the rumours going on for quite some time.
