Highlights
What this 'separate entry' was all about?
In a video clip, Amitabh Bachchan led his family to the designated picture area, joined by his wife Jaya Bachchan.
The iconic couple briefly posed for the paparazzi, with Amitabh signaling for the rest of the family to join.
Bachchan, Shweta Nanda, her husband Nikhil Nanda, and their children, Navya Naveli Nanda and Agastya Nanda joined in for the grand Bachchan family picture.
However, the absence of Rai Bachchan and Aaradhya raised eyebrows.
Divorce rumors
Rai Bachchan was missing from the family picture!
Later, Rai Bachchan and her 12-year-old made a fashionable entrance at the event. The pair greeted legendary actor Rekha before posing for photographers.
To note, there has been intense speculation surrounding Abhishek-Aishwarya's marriage‚ though the couple has consistently chosen not to address it directly.
In January, Bachchan added fuel to rumors by sharing a post about failure: "The fear of failing will destroy your dreams. Learning from failure will build your dreams."
They tied the knot in 2007.
