Aishwarya Rai celebrated her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan’s 13th birthday in style, sharing heartfelt pictures on social media. However, what caught the attention of many was the noticeable absence of her husband, Abhishek Bachchan, in the photos.
November is an emotionally significant month for Aishwarya, as she celebrates both her own birthday and the birth anniversary of her late father, Krishnaraj Rai, on November 21. On November 16, Aishwarya’s daughter, Aaradhya, officially entered her teenage years. To mark the occasion, Aishwarya shared a series of touching photos on Instagram that included intimate moments with Aaradhya, her mother Vrinda Rai, and a tribute to her late father.
The post included several emotional images, including one where Aishwarya and Aaradhya were seen with folded hands before her father’s photo. Aishwarya also posted throwback photos of Aaradhya as a toddler, alongside an image of the mother-daughter duo celebrating at a birthday party.
In her caption, Aishwarya expressed deep affection for both her father and daughter, writing, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 THE ETERNAL LOVE OF MY LIFE dearest Daddy-Ajjaa and my darling Aaradhya… MY HEART… MY SOUL… FOREVER AND BEYOND.” Fans were quick to praise Aishwarya for her unwavering love for Aaradhya, with one comment noting how she resembles her late father.

Abhishek Bachchan’s Absence Stirs Speculation
What drew even more attention was the absence of Abhishek Bachchan in the pictures, sparking speculation about their relationship. Rumours regarding the couple’s divorce have been circulating, and one fan pointed out Aishwarya’s continued display of her wedding ring in the post.
While there was no special birthday post for Aishwarya and Aaradhya from Abhishek Bachchan and whole Bachchan family, she did publicly wish her father-in-law, Amitabh Bachchan, on his 82nd birthday in September.

The last public sighting of Abhishek and Aishwarya together was during the wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. The couple arrived separately at the event, which only fueled further rumours.
What’s Next for the Bachchan Family?
As Aishwarya continues to receive admiration for her mothering skills, Abhishek is set to appear in several upcoming projects, including I Want To Talk, Be Happy, Housefull 5, and King. Meanwhile, Aishwarya recently starred in Ponniyin Selvan II and remains one of Bollywood’s most prominent figures.
In an era of social media, it seems that every family moment shared online invites both praise and scrutiny, leaving fans wondering if celebrities like Aishwarya and Abhishek will continue to keep their personal lives in the spotlight or choose a more private approach.
