Garewal captioned the video, "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 echoed these sentiments in the comments, stating her full agreement and noting that Bachchan was truly "one of the nicest people around." Khan has directed Bachchan in Happy New Year.
However, later, Garewal deleted this post. While she gave no explanation, backlash from netizens might have been the cause.
Speculation source
Divorce rumors sparked by Bachchan family's social media activity
Speculation about Bachchan and Rai Bachchan's marriage started when the Bachchan family didn't wish the Taal actor on her birthday on social media.
The rumors were further fueled during Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding, which the Bachchan family attended as a unit, but Rai Bachchan and their daughter Aaradhya appeared separately.
Following this, cheating rumors against the Dhoom actor spread online as well.
These rumors are the reason why the internet is seemingly against Junior Bachchan at the moment.
