Bollywood stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, along with their daughter Aaradhya, ushered in the New Year in New York City. The family’s presence in the Big Apple was confirmed after photos and videos from their New Year celebrations began circulating widely on social media.
Fans spot the Bachchans in NYC
Several Instagram clips show Aishwarya and Abhishek posing warmly with fans in front of a decorated Christmas tree. The couple twinned in all-black winter outfits, appearing relaxed and stylish despite the chilly weather. Their daughter Aaradhya was also seen accompanying them during their outings.
In another widely shared video, Aishwarya is seen sending a heartfelt New Year greeting to her admirers. Smiling into the camera, she says, “Here’s wishing you a very happy New Year. God bless and all my love always.” The message quickly won hearts across fan pages.
Other Bollywood stars in the city
Interestingly, the Bachchans are not the only Indian film stars holidaying in New York at the moment. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh were also spotted in the city recently and were seen attending a NBA game, adding to the Bollywood buzz in the Big Apple.
Abhishek dismisses divorce rumours
The family holiday comes amid months of speculation surrounding Aishwarya and Abhishek’s marriage. Over the past year, rumours of a rift between the two have frequently surfaced online. However, their joint appearances and this family vacation appear to have quelled much of the gossip.
In an earlier interview, Abhishek firmly dismissed the rumours, calling them baseless and intentionally hurtful. He said speculation has followed their relationship both before and after marriage, adding that what truly matters is the grounded and loving family they return to.
A quiet message through togetherness
Fans have interpreted the Bachchans’ New Year celebration together as a quiet but clear message—choosing togetherness over noise. As photos from New York continue to circulate, admirers have welcomed the family’s low-key yet warm start to 2026.
