The couple was also spotted last year at the high-profile wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. Although they arrived separately, they were later seen together inside the venue, subtly shutting down rumours about their relationship status with their mere presence.

On the work front

Aishwarya’s last outing on the big screen was in the blockbuster Ponniyin Selvan series directed by Mani Ratnam. The historical epic featured stars like Chiyaan Vikram, Trisha Krishnan and Karthi and was a box-office success.

Meanwhile, Abhishek was recently seen in Shoojit Sircar’s I Want To Talk, portraying a father grappling with an unprecedented medical emergency—a role that showcased his acting prowess. Last year, the Dhoom actor addressed the never-ending comparisons made between him, his legendary father Amitabh Bachchan, and Aishwarya. Speaking to CNBC-TV18, he said, “These comparisons are never going to get easier. But after 25 years of being asked the same question, I’ve become immune to it.”

Aishwarya, 50, and Abhishek, 49, have been married for 18 years and continue to be one of Bollywood’s most iconic couples. They share a daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, 13, who often steals the spotlight with her poised public appearances.
