Aishwarya Rai recently attended her cousin’s birthday bash with her daughter, Aaradhya, and her mother. However, fans were quick to notice the absence of Abhishek Bachchan in the family photo that surfaced online. Speculation about his no-show began to circulate, but a source has revealed the real reason for his absence, and it has nothing to do with the ongoing rumors about marital issues between Aishwarya and Abhishek.
According to a close source, Abhishek was in Bhopal visiting his maternal grandmother, Indira Bhaduri, who has been dealing with health problems. The Bachchan family is known for their strong bonds, and Abhishek prioritized being with his grandmother during this time.
This clarification also follows a false report that Jaya Bachchan’s mother had passed away, which was debunked by the Bachchan family. A statement confirmed that Jaya’s mother is “alive and well,” urging fans to avoid spreading unverified information.
The birthday celebration photo, shared on social media, showed Aishwarya and her family dressed casually, smiling alongside the birthday girl. Aaradhya was seen holding hands with her mother and another family member.
Rumors of tension between Aishwarya and the Bachchan family first emerged in July 2024, during Anant Ambani’s wedding, where Aishwarya and Aaradhya arrived separately from the rest of the Bachchan family. However, no official statements have been made regarding these rumors.
Aishwarya and Abhishek, who got married in 2007, share a daughter, Aaradhya, born in November 2011.
