Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently took to Instagram to share heartfelt moments from two significant occasions — her daughter Aaradhya’s 13th birthday and her late father Krishnaraj Rai’s birth anniversary. However, her husband, actor Abhishek Bachchan, was notably absent from the celebrations, sparking renewed speculation about trouble in their marriage.
In a series of pictures posted by Aishwarya, one heartwarming snapshot showed Aaradhya bowing respectfully in front of a portrait of her late grandfather. Another featured Aishwarya, Aaradhya, and Aishwarya’s mother, Brindya Rai, together. A nostalgic throwback of Aishwarya cradling a newborn Aaradhya also tugged at fans’ hearts. The final image captured a glimpse of Aaradhya’s birthday celebration in Mumbai.
Aishwarya captioned the post, “Happy birthday to the eternal love of my life dearest daddy-ajjaa and my darling Aaradhya. My heart, my soul… forever and beyond.”
The absence of Abhishek Bachchan in these pictures did not go unnoticed by fans, who flooded the comments section with questions about his whereabouts. “Where is Abhishek sir?” one fan inquired, while others remarked on the absence of both Abhishek and his father, Amitabh Bachchan.
This is not the first time rumours of marital discord have surfaced. The speculation began in July when Aishwarya and Abhishek were seen arriving separately at a high-profile wedding. The rumours intensified when Abhishek liked an Instagram post discussing the rise of “grey divorces” — separations among couples married for decades.
The liked post explored why love can “stop being easy” and delved into the challenges faced by couples parting ways after years of marriage. The caption read, “Divorce is never easy for anyone. Couples who have been married for long are now parting ways. What has prompted their decision and why are grey divorces on the rise globally?”
Aishwarya and Abhishek, who tied the knot in April 2007, have been one of Bollywood’s most celebrated couples. They welcomed their daughter Aaradhya in November 2011. Despite ongoing rumours, neither Aishwarya nor Abhishek has commented on or confirmed their alleged separation.
For now, fans are left guessing about the true status of their relationship as the couple continues to maintain a dignified silence.
