Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s belated post for Aaradhya’s birthday and tribute to her late father Krishnaraj Rai goes viral.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan marked two special moments on her Instagram – a belated birthday post for her daughter Aaradhya and a tribute to her late father, Krishnaraj Rai, on his birth anniversary. Aaradhya, who turned 13 on November 16, celebrated her milestone with warmth and joy as Aishwarya shared a heartfelt note alongside memorable pictures.
The birthday photo dump captured special moments. One photo showed Aaradhya bowing respectfully before a portrait of her late grandfather, Krishnaraj Rai. Another image featured Aishwarya and Aaradhya posing alongside Brindya Rai, exuding familial love. A nostalgic throwback picture of Aishwarya cradling a newborn Aaradhya sent fans into meltdown. The final photo gave a glimpse of Aaradhya’s glittering birthday celebration in Mumbai.
Aishwarya penned a touching caption for her daughter: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 THE ETERNAL LOVE OF MY LIFE dearest Daddy-Ajjaa and my darling Aaradhya❤️MY HEART… MY SOUL… FOREVER AND BEYOND.(sic)”
The post coincided with her father’s birth anniversary. Aishwarya has consistently honoured her late father, who passed away in 2017 after battling cancer. However, Abhishek Bachchan’s absence from both celebrations didn’t go unnoticed by fans. Social media users flooded the comments, speculating about his whereabouts. One wrote, “Where is Abhishek sir?” Another added, “No Amitabh Bachchan family or junior AB in pics!!!” While rumours about strain in their marriage circulate, neither Aishwarya nor Abhishek has commented on the matter.
On the professional front, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s period drama Ponniyin Selvan: 1. The film, based on Kalki Krishnamurthy’s historical epic, garnered widespread acclaim and showcased Aishwarya in dual roles, receiving accolades for her compelling performance.
