Abhishek Bachchan Missing From Daughter Aradhya's Birthday Sparks Rumours Again

November is special for Aishwarya Rai and her family. The actor's birthday is on November 1, and this year was even more special as her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, turned 13 on November 16, marking her entry into teenage years. Additionally, November 21 is the birth anniversary of Aishwarya's late father, Krishnaraj Rai.

On Wednesday night, Aishwarya Rai shared photos on Instagram from two special occasions: her father’s birth anniversary and her daughter Aaradhya’s 13th birthday. In the first few pictures, Aishwarya and Aaradhya are seen with closed eyes and folded hands in front of a garlanded photo of her late father, Krishnaraj Rai. Dressed in a white salwar suit, Aishwarya also posed with Aaradhya and her mother, Vrinda Rai, holding a bouquet in front of her father’s picture.

Aishwarya's post also included some memorable throwback photos. One showed little Aaradhya’s tiny hand, possibly playing with her late grandfather's hand. Another was a silhouette of Aishwarya kissing baby Aaradhya in her arms, followed by a picture of her kissing toddler Aaradhya. There was also a photo of a balloon with the words “You’re officially a teenager, Aaradhya” written on it. The final picture captured the mother-daughter duo celebrating Aaradhya’s birthday at a party, with Aishwarya hugging Aaradhya from behind and kissing her cheek.

Interestingly, Aishwarya's husband, Abhishek Bachchan, was absent from the pictures shared from both occasions. Amid ongoing rumors of their divorce, fans still noticed the wedding ring on her hand.
