A photograph of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan celebrating New Year's 2026 in New York City has gone viral, delighting fans across social media. The couple, accompanied by their daughter Aaradhya, were seen posing with a fan in the widely circulated image.
The picture, which surfaced on New Year's Day, shows Aishwarya and Abhishek twinning in black winter outfits. Aishwarya sports a stylish furry jacket and a black hat, while Abhishek complements her look with an all-black ensemble, accented by red spectacles. The backdrop hints at festive Christmas decorations, suggesting the photo was taken near the end of their holiday getaway.
The Bachchans, known for their privacy, made a rare joint appearance at Mumbai airport in December before jetting off for their vacation. While they kept the destination under wraps initially, the viral photo confirmed they rang in 2026 in the Big Apple. Other Bollywood celebrities, including Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, were also spotted in New York City during the New Year celebrations.
The New Year's ছবি also arrives amidst persistent rumors regarding the couple's relationship. Abhishek, in a recent interview, firmly dismissed these speculations as "absolutely false" and "intentionally hurtful," emphasizing the strength and truth of their bond. He highlighted that such rumors have plagued them since before their marriage in 2007 and that they return to a "loving, grounded family". Aishwarya and Abhishek's daughter, Aaradhya, was born in 2011.
Aishwarya, a former Miss World, has received numerous accolades, including two Filmfare Awards. Her notable performances include roles in "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam," "Devdas," and more recently, Mani Ratnam's "Ponniyin Selvan: I" and "Ponniyin Selvan: II". Abhishek was last seen in "Kaalidhar Laapata" and will appear in Siddharth Anand's upcoming film "King" alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan.
The couple's New Year celebration in New York and their willingness to share a moment with fans showcase a personal glimpse into their lives, further solidifying their image as one of Bollywood's most admired couples.
