The spotlight has intensified on the iconic Bollywood couple, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, as they recently made a joint appearance at the Dhirubhai Ambani International School Annual Day event in Mumbai, as reported by Hindustan Times. Amid circulating reports from various media portals suggesting strains in their relationship, the couple's presence together at this public event has sparked intense curiosity among fans and media outlets alike.
Captured in numerous pictures and videos shared across various social media platforms, the couple's arrival at the event brought a mixed aura. Aishwarya, accompanied by her mother Brindya Rai, arrived in elegance, donning a striking black and golden suit paired with heels, along with a matching bag. Meanwhile, Abhishek, accompanied by his father, veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan, and nephew Agastya Nanda, sported a navy blue shirt, complementing pants, and sneakers.
Observers noted various interactions between the family members. Aishwarya exchanged words with Amitabh and affectionately held her nephew Agastya's cheek as they gathered at the venue. Notably, Abhishek was seen engaged in conversation with Aishwarya, displaying an affectionate gesture by placing his arm around her as they strolled into the school premises.
Separation rumours
Aishwarya and Abhishek tied the knot on April 20, 2007, in an intimate ceremony held at Amitabh's bungalow, Prateeksha. Their family expanded with the birth of their daughter, Aaradhya, on November 16, 2011.
However, recent speculations about their relationship have sparked widespread curiosity. According to Times of India, Abhishek's niece Navya Naveli Nanda and Aishwarya avoided taking photographs together during their joint appearance on the runway for a renowned brand at the Paris Fashion Week. Despite the presence of Shweta and Jaya Bachchan at this esteemed event, Shweta deliberately omitted mentioning the Taal actor in her Instagram post, choosing instead to focus solely on her daughter.
This action led to several fans of Aishwarya expressing discontent and frustration towards Shweta for her apparent disregard for acknowledging the esteemed star. Aishwarya then posted a cropped image on her social media from Amitabh’s 80th birthday bash, focusing solely on Amitabh and Aaradhya while excluding Jaya, Navya, and Agastya.
Moreover, Abhishek's public appearances without his wedding ring, as reported by Times of India and Firstpost, have fueled the gossip mill. Amitabh’s reported decision to unfollow Aishwarya on social media further stoked the fire, leading to rampant speculations among fans. A cryptic tweet from Amitabh, with a contemplative tone, added to the mystery surrounding the couple’s relationship status. Recent incidents, such as Aishwarya and Abhishek skipping joint photo opportunities and the absence of the Bachchan family at Aishwarya’s 50th birthday, have only served to intensify the speculation.
