Aishwarya Rai and her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, were recently seen leaving India, and shortly afterward, Aishwarya was spotted enjoying a holiday in New York. A fan named Jerée Reyna shared a photograph with Aishwarya on Instagram, expressing her joy at meeting her idol for the second time.

The separate arrivals of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and the rest of the Bachchan family at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding have sparked rumors of familial discord. This speculation was further fueled by Abhishek Bachchan’s recent activity on social media. Abhishek liked an article about divorce, leading netizens to speculate that he and Aishwarya might be heading for a divorce. However, the true reason behind Abhishek’s like on the Indian Express article has been revealed, and it involves a deeper context.
A Reddit user pointed out that the article was contributed to by Zirat Marker, a long-time friend of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. This suggests that Abhishek’s like was a supportive gesture towards his wife’s friend, rather than an indication of marital trouble. Many commenters on Reddit interpreted this as a sign of Abhishek being a supportive partner, suggesting that the couple is not heading for a divorce.
