Speculation suggested that their relationship was strained, with claims they were living apart and possibly heading for divorce. However, these rumours were put to rest as the couple was seen together at several events. Aishwarya's recent appearance at Mumbai airport has again sparked interest.
On Monday, December 23, Aishwarya Rai was seen at Mumbai airport with her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. The duo wore matching black outfits as they left the city for a Christmas holiday. Fans noticed Abhishek Bachchan's absence, especially after recent reconciliation rumours. Their cheerful smiles caught everyone's attention.

Just days before this trip, Aishwarya and Abhishek attended Aaradhya's school event together, which further fueled reconciliation talks.
Aishwarya Rai is known for being protective of her daughter Aaradhya. At the airport, she faced criticism online for holding Aaradhya closely while navigating through the media crowd. Some social media users questioned her actions, suggesting it was unnecessary given Aaradhya's age.
One user commented on the video saying, "Overacting ???????????????????? (sic)", while another remarked, "Her daughter is a teen .. why is she holding onto her like she's a year old baby. Is she abnormal or something (sic)". Another user asked, "Why does she hold her like this? (sic)".
The couple's public appearances have been under scrutiny amid ongoing speculation about their relationship status. Despite this, they continue to maintain a united front in public settings.
