Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, one of India’s most celebrated actresses, commands a social media following that rivals any Bollywood star, with over 14 million followers on Instagram.
Known for her grace and talent, she has carefully curated her Instagram account, sharing glimpses of her personal life, family moments, and professional milestones. However, what stands out on her profile isn’t just the glamorous posts, it is the single person she follows and it none other than her husband, Abhishek Bachchan.
This loyal following has left fans intrigued. Despite her global fan base and a long list of industry colleagues, Aishwarya has chosen only Abhishek as the one person she follows. The couple has often set relationship goals for their fans, yet their bond has recently come under media scrutiny.
Speculations about a rift sparked when the duo reportedly arrived separately at Anant Ambani’s wedding. While Abhishek made an appearance with his family, Aishwarya was seen arriving with their daughter, Aaradhya, instead.
Adding fuel to the speculation, Aishwarya recently attended the South Indian International Movie Awards (SIIMA 2024) in Dubai solo, while Abhishek was absent. Shortly after, she celebrated a private family gathering in Mumbai, on October 22, 2024, where fans noticed Abhishek’s absence from the birthday celebrations with her mother and Aaradhya.
Curious fans soon discovered that Abhishek, after returning from filming for Housefull 5 on October 21, had actually traveled to Bhopal to be with his grandmother, Indira Bhaduri, who, according to reports, is facing health concerns.
In response to the media buzz, a source close to Abhishek clarified to the Hindustan Times that the actor’s visit to Bhopal was purely to spend time with his ailing grandmother.
This insight might help to quiet the speculation about their relationship, reminding fans that, like any couple, they have commitments and responsibilities that sometimes keep them apart.
