A recent family gathering that saw Aishwarya Rai and her daughter Aaradhya celebrating a cousin’s birthday sparked speculation due to Abhishek Bachchan’s noticeable absence. However, the reason behind Abhishek’s non-attendance has been clarified, quashing rumors of marital issues. According to sources close to the actor, Abhishek was in Bhopal to visit his grandmother, Indira Bhaduri, who has been dealing with a health issue. The Bachchan family has always emphasized the importance of family support, and Abhishek prioritized spending time with his grandmother.
Amid growing buzz, a Reddit post shared a family photo from the celebration, showing Aishwarya, her daughter Aaradhya, and Aishwarya’s mother, all smiling for the camera. The post drew attention due to Abhishek’s absence, which has now been clarified. Furthermore, the Bachchan family has addressed false reports about Jaya Bachchan’s mother, confirming she is “alive and well,” asking fans to seek accurate updates.
Rumors of trouble between Aishwarya and the Bachchan family began in July 2024 when Aishwarya and Aaradhya attended Anant Ambani’s wedding separately from the rest of the family. Despite the speculation, no official statement has been made by the Bachchans regarding these rumors. Aishwarya and Abhishek, who married in 2007, share a daughter, Aaradhya, born in 2011.
