Abhishek Bachchan Travels with Family During Aishwarya Rai’s Absence

Abhishek Bachchan was spotted at Mumbai airport on April 8, 2025, leaving the city with his mother, veteran actress Jaya Bachchan, and his niece, Navya Naveli Nanda. Absent from the crew were his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and his daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.
Abhishek kept it casual in a beige jacket over a white hoodie teamed with black sweatpants. Jaya Bachchan paired the casual mood with a blue denim top and black trousers. Navya Naveli was in style with her fresh short cut, dressed up with black-rimmed spectacles, striped cardigan, blue jeans, and red sports shoes. Fans and followers have been curious regarding the absence of Aishwarya Rai and Aaradhya from this family outing. Social media has been quick to comment on the sighting, with one person asking, “Where is Aaradhya & Aishwarya,” and another remarking, “When Abhishek is with his mom, Aishwarya is not there, and when he is with Aishwarya, Jaya is not there. I wonder why.” This airport spotting follows closely on the heels of Abhishek’s appearance at the 20th-anniversary bash of Maddock Films in Mumbai. At work, Aishwarya Rai was recently seen in Mani Ratnam’s “Ponniyin Selvan II” and has not made any new project announcement since then. Abhishek Bachchan last appeared in the dance drama “I Want To Talk,” with Naseeruddin Shah, Nora Fatehi, and Inayat Verma. He is expected to appear soon in “Housefull 5,” as a co-star alongside Sanjay Dutt, Nargis Fakhri, Jacqueline Fernandez, Riteish Deshmukh, and Jackie Shroff, though the date hasn’t been given yet. ​Public sightings involving the Bachchans never tend to draw minor attention and don’t here this time as well, going alongside the series of discussions still pending regarding both his personal as well as working life.
