Aishwarya Rai was spotted returning to Mumbai with her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan after a trip to New York, amid ongoing speculation about her marriage with actor Abhishek Bachchan.
Airport Arrival
Aishwarya and Aaradhya were seen at Mumbai airport early on Thursday morning. A video shared on Instagram by a local photographer captured their arrival. Aishwarya wore an all-black outfit with a long coat and paired it with red lipstick, keeping her hair loose. Aaradhya was dressed comfortably in a purple sweatshirt, black pants, and white sneakers, carrying a black sling bag. Aishwarya held Aaradhya close as they navigated the airport, smiling for the cameras and thanking the paparazzi before getting into their car, appearing unaffected by the rumours of marital discord.
Aishwarya's Trip to New York
During their time in New York, Aishwarya was spotted with US-based actor Jeree Reyna, who shared two photos with Aishwarya on Instagram—one recent and one from a previous encounter. Jeree expressed gratitude in her caption, highlighting the impact Aishwarya had on her life and expressing joy over meeting her idol again.
Speculations and Public Appearances
The speculation about Aishwarya and Abhishek's marriage gained traction after she attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding on July 12 separately from Abhishek, who was with his parents, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, and his sister Shweta Bachchan’s family. Aishwarya also made a solo appearance at the couple's Shubh Aashirwad ceremony on July 13. Neither Aishwarya nor Abhishek has commented publicly on the rumours.
On the professional front, Aishwarya was last seen in 'Ponniyin Selvan 2.'
