Mumbai: Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made a stylish appearance at fashion designer Manish Malhotra’s Diwali bash, catching attention with their loved-up moments.
The couple arrived hand-in-hand and exchanged warm glances, giving photographers a glimpse of their romantic side.
Manish Malhotra hosted a star-studded Diwali bash in Mumbai on November 5, with several Bollywood celebrities in attendance. Akshay Kumar, Madhuri Dixit and many others joined the celebrations with their families.
For the occasion, Abhishek opted for a black traditional ensemble featuring a long embroidered jacket with a structured high collar, paired with matching trousers.
Aishwarya complemented him in a vibrant red saree adorned with intricate golden detailing along the border. Heavy gold jewellery and loose, wavy tresses completed her festive look.
The two posed together for photographs on the red carpet but politely declined requests for solo pictures.
In one of the evening’s sweetest moments, Abhishek gently pulled Aishwarya closer as they posed for the cameras. The two were also seen exchanging smiles and chatting, sharing affectionate glances throughout.
Their appearance delighted fans, who took to social media to express their admiration.
One comment read, “They both look so happy together.”
Another wrote, “Giving 2008 energy again.”
“Cutiess, they can’t seem to take their eyes off each other,” read another comment.
One fan added, “They are looking at each other almost like lovers reunited. So cutee, I’m gonna cry.”
Aishwarya and Abhishek were friends before their relationship blossomed into love.
After working together in films such as Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke, Umrao Jaan, Guru and Dhoom 2, the two got engaged in 2007 and tied the knot on April 20 the same year in a private ceremony at the Bachchan family residence in Mumbai. They welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya, in 2011.
Despite recurring divorce rumours, the two have continued to make public appearances together.
While Aishwarya is yet to announce her next project after Ponniyin Selvan II (2023), Abhishek will next be seen in Siddharth Anand’s King.
The film also stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and Suhana Khan and is scheduled to release in theatres on December 24, 2026.
