Manish Malhotra hosted the Diwali celebration in Mumbai, which was attended by several prominent Bollywood celebrities along with their families. From Kareena Kapoor to Akshay Kumar, Madhuri Dixit and Kajol, several stars arrived in traditional outfits. However, Abhishek and Aishwarya's appearance emerged as one of the most discussed moments of the evening.
The couple remained close throughout their appearance. Abhishek held Aishwarya's hand and continued to stay beside her while greeting other guests. Aishwarya looked elegant in a deep red saree paired with heavy gold jewellery and red lipstick. Abhishek complemented her look in a black sherwani-style outfit.
One of the most talked-about moments occurred when the couple posed for photographs. When the paparazzi asked them to click individual pictures, both declined politely. Abhishek then pulled Aishwarya closer, and the two were seen smiling and talking to each other. Despite cameras continuously capturing their pictures, they appeared focused on each other.
Several other Bollywood celebrities also attended the Diwali party. Kareena Kapoor Khan arrived in a golden sequin saree paired with a halter-neck blouse, while Saif Ali Khan opted for a black kurta-pyjama. Akshay Kumar attended the celebration with his wife Twinkle Khanna and son Aarav Bhatia. The three coordinated their outfits in white.
Madhuri Dixit arrived with her husband, Shriram Nene. Kajol was seen in a black velvet saree, accompanied by her daughter Nysa Devgan. Janhvi Kapoor attended in a black and golden lehenga, while Parineeti Chopra arrived with her husband Raghav Chadha in matching black outfits. Raveena Tandon, Rasha Thadani, Karisma Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Suhana Khan, Gauri Khan and Navya Nanda were also among the celebrities who attended the celebration.
Videos and photographs of Abhishek and Aishwarya from the party are receiving considerable attention on social media. Fans expressed their happiness at seeing the couple together and smiling. One user commented, "Both look so happy together." Another wrote, "It is giving exactly the 2008 vibes." A third fan commented, "They are so adorable. It looks like they cannot take their eyes off each other."
Abhishek and Aishwarya first met around 1999-2000 during a photoshoot. They later appeared together in the 2000 film 'Dhai Akshar Prem Ke'. While working together in films such as 'Umrao Jaan', 'Dhoom 2' and 'Guru', their friendship gradually developed into a romantic relationship.
In 2007, Abhishek proposed to Aishwarya, and the couple got married on April 20, 2007, at the Bachchan family's residence in Mumbai. Their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, was born in 2011. Over the past few years, several rumours about their relationship have surfaced. However, their affectionate appearance at Manish Malhotra's Diwali celebration has once again brought the couple's public chemistry into focus.
On the professional front, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last seen in Mani Ratnam's 2023 film 'Ponniyin Selvan 2'. She has not announced any new projects so far. Abhishek Bachchan, meanwhile, will soon appear in Siddharth Anand's film 'King'. The film also features Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and Suhana Khan, among several other actors. 'King' is scheduled to release in theatres on December 24, 2026.
