Amid Aishwarya Rai divorce rumours, did Abhishek Bachchan attend Aaradhya’s birthday party? Viral video has the answer

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, who recently appeared in the film I Want To Talk, was part of his daughter Aaradhya Bachchan's birthday celebration with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on November 16, contrary to reports claiming his absence. A video surfaced on the internet which instantly caught the attention of the netizens and finally, it proved the claims of the actor’s absence from his daughter’s special occasion as untrue.

Speculation about Abhishek Bachchan missing the festivities arose after Aishwarya shared photos from Aaradhya’s birthday. The pictures featured Aishwarya, her mother Brinda, and Aaradhya paying tribute to Krishna Rai with flowers, along with glimpses of Aaradhya’s birthday and childhood moments. A photo in the post read, “You are officially a teenager Aaradhya.” Notably, the Instagram post made no mention of Abhishek or included any photos of him, fueling rumours about a rift in their relationship.

However, a video shared by the event management company, which has been organizing Aaradhya’s birthdays for 13 years, confirmed Abhishek's presence at the celebration. In the video, the Dasvi actor expressed his gratitude to the company’s owner, thanking them for their long-standing association in making Aaradhya’s birthdays special.

Internet’s Reaction

The video sparked varied reactions online, with some users expressing support and others sharing scepticism. One user appreciated the clarification, noting it helped counter negative narratives about Abhishek and the Bachchan family. Another remarked humorously about the ongoing situation, saying they were glad to see the family celebrating together. However, some questioned the authenticity of the event, speculating it might have been staged.

Despite this confirmation, the absence of any acknowledgement of Abhishek in Aishwarya's post has reignited speculation about trouble in their marriage. The couple has been at the centre of rumours since last year when reports suggested Aishwarya had moved out of the Bachchan family home and was living separately. The chatter intensified after reports alleged Abhishek’s closeness to actress Nimrat Kaur during the filming of Dasvi.

Abhishek and Aishwarya, two of Bollywood’s most celebrated stars, tied the knot in 2007 after dating for a few years. The couple welcomed Aaradhya in 2011, four years into their marriage. While they have consistently maintained a dignified silence regarding rumours, their public appearances together have become rare, further fueling speculation. For now, the video of Abhishek celebrating Aaradhya’s birthday offers a glimmer of reassurance to fans hoping the rumours of separation are untrue.
