The Missing Diwali Celebration in the Bachchan Household: Rumors Surround Aishwarya-Abhishek Separation

Every year, Bollywood’s Diwali festivities are a vibrant spectacle of lights, joy, and tradition, with prominent families hosting lavish parties and gatherings. However, in 2024, fans noted a distinct absence from these festivities: the Bachchan family. This year, the Bachchan household remained unusually quiet during Diwali, sparking widespread speculation about a possible separation between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan.

Traditionally, the Bachchans celebrate Diwali with grandeur at their iconic residence, “Pratiksha,” where Amitabh Bachchan and his wife, Jaya Bachchan, hold an annual Lakshmi Puja. However, this year saw no signs of Diwali lights, decorations, or any visible celebration at Pratiksha, nor were the family members seen or photographed together. The absence of Aishwarya and Abhishek from family events and the avoidance of any mention of them by Amitabh Bachchan have further fueled rumors.

Amitabh Bachchan’s Silence and Social Media Observations

Amitabh Bachchan, popularly known as Big B, is not just Bollywood royalty but also an active social media figure. Fans eagerly await his posts on special occasions, expecting glimpses into the Bachchan family’s private celebrations. This year, he did acknowledge Diwali with a tweet wishing his fans well, but that was all. Neither he nor any other Bachchan family member shared images or updates from the celebration, leaving fans puzzled.

Furthermore, the silence extended beyond Diwali itself. On Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s 51st birthday, which fell right after Diwali, fans expected a double celebration. The day passed, however, without any public acknowledgment from the Bachchan family. For a family that once hosted the most star-studded Diwali events in Bollywood, this year’s lack of fanfare was noticeable and led fans to wonder if the rumors of discord held truth.

Past Hints and Growing Tension in the Family

There have been subtle signs of tension between Amitabh Bachchan and his daughter-in-law, Aishwarya, over the past years. Fans have pointed out instances where Big B seemed to avoid mentioning Aishwarya and her daughter, Aaradhya, during public appearances. For example, in a recent episode of his popular show, Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), Amitabh discussed the hit song “Kajra Re” from Bunty Aur Babli, a song in which Aishwarya performed alongside him and Abhishek. While he spoke about Abhishek and co-star Rani Mukerji, he did not mention Aishwarya, which many found unusual.

Likewise, Amitabh has been seen talking about his other grandchildren, Navya and Agastya, from daughter Shweta Bachchan, but rarely does he mention Aaradhya. Such omissions may appear trivial, but in a family where every word and gesture is analyzed by the media, they have added to the perception of a rift. The Bachchans have remained tight-lipped on the matter, further fueling speculation.

The Rumored Link Between Abhishek and Nimrit Kaur

Adding another layer to the story are rumors linking Abhishek Bachchan to actress Nimrit Kaur. The media and fans have speculated about a possible connection between the two, with social media buzzing about it in recent days. During Diwali, while the Bachchans were notably absent, Nimrit Kaur shared glimpses of her celebration with her family on social media. The timing of these posts did not go unnoticed, and some fans were quick to link her Diwali celebrations with Abhishek’s absence from the Bachchan household festivities.

Past Events That Raised Eyebrows

The apparent family tension dates back even further. One incident that garnered attention was during Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s high-profile wedding. The Bachchans attended the wedding, but Amitabh and Jaya were reportedly seen with the family, while Aishwarya and Aaradhya were said to have arrived separately and kept to themselves. This gave rise to speculation that the senior Bachchans had started to distance themselves from Aishwarya and Aaradhya.

What Lies Ahead for the Bachchan Family?

In Bollywood, families are as much in the spotlight as the stars themselves. Fans cherish the illusion of a harmonious family life, especially for icons like Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, who represent traditional values and a strong familial bond. However, as the recent events reveal, even the most celebrated families may not be immune to internal discord.

Neither Abhishek nor Aishwarya has addressed the rumors directly, and the Bachchans as a family have maintained a dignified silence. As is typical in Bollywood, fans and the media are left to piece together clues from social media posts and public appearances, fueling speculation about the state of the family.

While fans hope this is just a rough patch, only time will tell if the Bachchan family can reconcile and bring back the warmth and unity that once made their Diwali celebrations a highlight of Bollywood’s festive season. For now, though, the silence of the Bachchan household has left many wondering about the future of one of Bollywood’s most iconic families.
