Putting months of speculation to rest, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shared a heartwarming family photo with husband Abhishek Bachchan and daughter Aaradhya on their 18th wedding anniversary, effectively quashing ongoing divorce rumours.
The photo, posted on Aishwarya’s official Instagram account, shows the trio embracing closely, exuding warmth and unity. Abhishek has his arms around both Aishwarya and Aaradhya, while the caption—a simple white heart emoji—spoke volumes without saying much.
This marks the family’s first social media appearance together in over a year, and the timing couldn’t have been more significant. For months, gossip mills had been churning out rumours of a rift between the couple, especially after Aishwarya was notably absent from several Bachchan family functions and missing from Abhishek’s recent social media updates.
However, the intimate anniversary post quickly went viral, and fans flooded the comments with love and relief. “Finally, sab theek ho gaya… nothing is more important than family,” one comment read, while others praised the couple as “evergreen” and admired their graceful public presence.
Adding to the speculation-ending momentum, a video of the couple dancing with Aaradhya to their hit song Kajra Re at a recent family wedding had surfaced just weeks earlier—hinting that all was well behind the scenes.
Aishwarya and Abhishek tied the knot on April 20, 2007, in a private ceremony attended by close friends and family. Abhishek had once shared on Koffee With Karan that the wedding was intentionally low-key due to his grandmother’s ill health at the time, a sentiment echoed by his father Amitabh Bachchan.
While Aishwarya’s anniversary post drew thousands of likes and supportive comments—including a reaction from Priyanka Chopra—Abhishek had yet to acknowledge or share the photo on his own social media accounts as of Monday morning.
Professionally, Abhishek was last seen in Be Happy on Amazon Prime Video and is set to appear in Housefull 5 and Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming project King. Aishwarya, who last starred in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan series, has not yet announced her next project.
The couple, often in the spotlight since their high-profile marriage, appear to have chosen a subtle but powerful way to shut down speculation—letting a single photo speak louder than words.
