Abhishek Bachchan turns protective husband for Aishwarya Rai

In videos taken by paparazzi, Abhishek can be seen being protective of his wife Aishwarya as he held her hand while entering inside. The videos also captured Aishwarya beside Amitabh, while Abhishek taking care of her dupatta so that she doesn't step on it. In several videos circulating online, Aishwarya, dressed in an elegant black ensemble, appeared calm and poised, while Abhishek and Amitabh were seen by her side, engaging with other guests. The Bachchan family's presence at the prestigious event has effectively put an end to the speculation.

This marks the first time the couple has been seen together publicly since the rumours began circulating. Despite the media frenzy, both Aishwarya and Abhishek have refrained from commenting on the matter, choosing instead to focus on their professional commitments.

The family was also seen leaving together in a car after the annual function concluded.

When Amitabh Bachchan slammed trolls spreading rumours

In his blog, Amitabh Bachchan addressed the issue, expressing concern over "information ending with question marks" and highlighting the emotional toll such rumours can have on those involved.

An excerpt from his post read, “But untruths .. or selected question marked information can be a legal safeguard for them that inform .. but the seed of suspected belief is sown with this most used emblem .. the question mark ..write express whatever you like .. but when you follow it up with a question mark, you are not only saying that the write may be questionable .. but also quite surreptitiously wanting the reader to believe and expand on it, so that your write gets valued repeats ..”

The couple got married on April 20, 2007, and welcomed their daughter Aaradhya four years after their marriage in November 2011.
