Aishwarya Rai Wishes Abhishek Bachchan on His 49th Birthday Amid Divorce Rumors

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai took to Instagram on Wednesday, February 5, to wish her husband, actor Abhishek Bachchan, on his 49th birthday. Amid ongoing speculation about their relationship, she shared a rare childhood picture of Abhishek riding a tricycle and looking directly at the camera.

In the caption, Aishwarya wrote, "Here’s wishing you Happy Birthday with happiness, good health, love and light God Bless"

Fans React to the Post

Following her post, fans flooded the comment section, dismissing rumors of trouble in their marriage. One user wrote, "Aren’t you the most gracious and merciful queen,we love you Aishwarya" while another commented, "lo ab kahan gye divorce kehne wale (Where are those people who were talking about divorce?)"

Another fan praised Aishwarya’s gesture, stating, "Regardless of what’s happening in her life, this lady of elegance and class never fails to keep up with her generosity."

Rumors of Family Tensions

Speculation about a rift between Aishwarya and the Bachchan family has been circulating since July 2024, when she and her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, arrived separately at Anant Ambani’s wedding. The rest of the Bachchan family—including Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan, Agastya Nanda, and Navya Naveli Nanda—were seen making a joint appearance at the event.

The rumors intensified when Abhishek and his family reportedly did not publicly wish Aishwarya on her birthday earlier this month.

A Look at Their Journey

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan tied the knot in 2007 and have been one of Bollywood’s most celebrated couples. They are parents to daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, born on November 16, 2011.

On the professional front, Abhishek Bachchan was last seen in Shoojit Sircar’s film I Want to Talk.
