The absence of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan from a recent video celebrating Amitabh Bachchan’s 82nd birthday has reignited speculation about a possible rift between her and the Bachchan family. The video, aired on Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 during a special episode on October 11, featured heartfelt messages and old family moments. However, while nearly all the Bachchan family members made an appearance, Aishwarya was notably absent, leading to widespread gossip.
Family Video Shows All, Except Aishwarya
In the video tribute to Amitabh, viewers saw messages and appearances from Abhishek Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan, and even the next generation — Navya, Agastya, and Aaradhya. The clips showed old and new family photos of the Bachchans celebrating together. However, Aishwarya’s face was missing entirely, despite Aaradhya’s presence in several pictures with her grandfather.
Fueling Divorce Rumors
Aishwarya’s absence in such a significant family video has fueled existing rumors of tension within the Bachchan household. Speculation about her strained relationship with the family isn’t new. For months, there have been rumors of problems between Aishwarya and her husband Abhishek Bachchan, with reports even suggesting that they are headed for a divorce. This latest incident only adds fuel to the fire, with many wondering if Aishwarya has been distanced from the family entirely.
Similar Speculations at Ambani Wedding
Earlier this year, when the Bachchan family attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding, Aishwarya and her daughter Aaradhya were missing from the initial photos. This sparked immediate gossip, but Aishwarya later made a solo appearance with Aaradhya at the event. Nevertheless, rumors of tension between Aishwarya and Abhishek continued to swirl after the wedding, and the latest incident on Amitabh’s birthday has only deepened these suspicions.
Aishwarya’s Birthday Wish for Amitabh
Despite her absence from the video, Aishwarya did post a birthday message for her father-in-law on social media. Late on Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday, she shared a sweet post featuring a picture of Aaradhya with her grandfather, wishing him a happy birthday and praying for his well-being. Though this public gesture suggests all is well, the lack of her presence in the KBC 16 episode has left many wondering about the true state of affairs.
What’s Next for the Bachchan Family?
As rumors continue to circulate, fans and media alike are closely watching for any more signs of tension within the famous Bachchan family. Only time will tell if these speculations hold any truth, or if they are merely a result of overactive imaginations. For now, Aishwarya’s absence from the video remains a mystery that has everyone talking.
