Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's breakup rumors have been circulating online for quite some time now. While the celebrity couple maintains a dignified silence, netizens finally find reasons to confirm the claims. Recently, a photo of Ash with daughter Aaradhya enjoying a family function went viral on the internet, but Junior Bachchan missed it.

In the viral photo, we can see Aishwarya Rai, her mother and daughter Aaradhya at an intimate family function. According to a fan site, it was Ash's cousin Sagar Shetty's birthday. The doting mother held her daughter as she posed with her cousin and other family members. In the photo we see two birthday cakes standing on the table along with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

The caption of the post read, “Thank you for all the wishes.” However, what caught everyone's attention was Abhishek Bachchan's absence from the photo amid the couple's divorce rumors.

Take a look

Shortly after the post was shared, fans applauded the family's simplicity, while many normalized the couple's suspected breakup. A user, referring to Aaradhya, wrote, “I hope so. She is definitely a multi-diverse child,” while another user remarked, “I love how Aaradhya has her one hand held by the cousin (?) and the other by Aish. Cute.” while a third fan remarked, “I bet Aaradhya can speak Tulu fluently or at least understand it completely because of her Nani.” Another fan remarked, “Aaradhya looks like Abhishek here.”

Additionally, one user further stated, “Seriously, we need to normalize failed marriages and divorces… people grow apart with no one to blame. It's okay to be happy as a co-parent instead of being unhappy just to keep up appearances.” . Ok, on a separate note, it's such a wholesome and cozy picture.

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan got married in an intimate wedding ceremony in Mumbai in 2007 and welcomed Aaradhya in 2011.

On the professional front, Aish was last seen in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan: II, which released in 2023. Meanwhile, Junior Bachchan has a number of exciting projects in the pipeline, including Akshay Kumar-starrer Housefull 5 and Shah Rukh Khan's King, directed by Sujoy Ghosh.
