Aishwarya’s noticeable absence from the picture at a wedding in Mumbai has left netizens questioning whether the couple is still together, reviving ongoing divorce speculation. The photo, taken at the reception of Rikin Yadav and Surabhi, went viral across social media.
The couple, who have been married since April 2007, have faced persistent rumours about their marriage in recent months. In the past, they were spotted attending a school function for their daughter Aaradhya, which had momentarily quelled these speculations.
Abhishek and Aishwarya, both accomplished actors, have largely remained private about their personal lives. However, their public appearances – or lack thereof – frequently attract attention, with fans and the media scrutinising every detail.
Earlier the family made a rare public appearance at the annual event of Aaradhya Bachchan’s school, where Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rai were seen entering the venue together.
Aaradhya Bachchan studies at the Dhirubhai Ambani International School, and several videos from the school’s annual function had gone viral on social media. During the event, Aishwarya and Amitabh Bachchan were seen for the first time in almost a year, catching the attention of fans with a video posted on Instagram.
Previously Abhishek Bachchan’s arrival at Aaliyah Kashyap’s wedding reception without Aishwarya Rai sparked rumours surrounding their marriage. Attending the event on December 11, 2024, in Mumbai, Abhishek Bachchan was accompanied by his nephew, Agastya Nanda, instead of his wife.
A few weeks ago the couple was seen at a wedding reception in Mumbai, where they were photographed together alongside other prominent figures from the film industry. This appearance came amidst ongoing speculation about their relationship, particularly following reports of an alleged affair between Abhishek and actress Nimrat Kaur, which added fuel to the fire.
Rumours surrounding Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan’s marriage had intensified, especially after their separate appearances at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding. Additionally, Abhishek’s social media posts, including one discussing “grey divorces,” further stoked the rumours.
Aishwarya’s recent appearance at the Global Women’s Forum in Dubai also reignited talk about her marriage, particularly as she was introduced at the event without using her “Bachchan” surname. This led to further speculation about her personal life.
Despite the mounting rumours, neither Abhishek nor Aishwarya had made any public comment regarding the status of their relationship.
