Aishwarya Rai & Aaradhya’s festive appearance at Ganpati pandal goes viral; fans look out for Abhishek

Ganesh Chaturthi festivities in Mumbai are always a star-studded affair, and this year Aishwarya Rai Bachchan once again kept her tradition alive. The actress was spotted at the Gaud Saraswat Brahmin (GSB) Ganeshotsav pandal along with her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, and their pictures and videos are now all over social media.

In the viral clips, Aishwarya is seen carefully guiding Aaradhya through the massive crowd as the duo made their way to seek blessings of Lord Ganesha. The actress, dressed in a graceful white ethnic suit paired with a bold red lip and a tiny bindi, looked effortlessly elegant. Aaradhya, who has grown into quite a confident young presence, looked lovely in a mustard-yellow kurta set. Both mother and daughter paused for selfies, greeted fans warmly, and also posed with folded hands before entering the pandal.

Over the years, Aishwarya has made it a point to attend the GSB Ganpati celebrations, often accompanied by her family. Last year, she visited with Aaradhya and her mother Brinda Rai. This time too, while fans loved seeing the mother-daughter duo, they couldn’t help but notice Abhishek Bachchan’s absence from the pandal. Many on social media commented that they missed seeing the trio together.

Interestingly, just days ago the Bachchans were spotted together at the airport returning from a family vacation. The three even stopped to pose with a fan before heading out, subtly putting to rest the persistent chatter around their relationship. After months of speculation about separation, their joint appearances reassured fans that Abhishek and Aishwarya continue to stand strong together, prioritising family time with Aaradhya.

On the professional front, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan II. The historical drama, also featuring Vikram, Trisha, Karthi, and several other prominent names, turned out to be a massive box office success. Since then, the actress has kept fans guessing about her next project, and the anticipation for her return to the big screen only seems to grow with each public appearance.

As always, Aishwarya and Aaradhya’s pandal visit drew warm reactions online, with fans praising their bond and grace.
