A throwback video featuring one of Bollywood’s most beloved couples, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, has resurfaced online—and sparked quite a buzz on social media.
In the clip, Aishwarya is seen calling Abhishek “the love of my life,” only to seemingly be met with silence and indifference from her husband, prompting a wave of reactions from netizens.
The video, believed to be from a press interaction during the Unforgettable World Tour, shows Aishwarya expressing excitement over touring with both her husband and in-laws. “This is the first with the love of my life, my husband. It is his first world tour. It will always be like that we did this together,” she says sweetly, before adding that it’s also special because her in-laws, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, were part of the tour.
However, what caught the internet’s attention wasn’t her heartfelt words—it was Abhishek Bachchan’s response, or rather, the lack thereof. In the clip, he appears visibly expressionless and does not acknowledge her comment, which fans found cold and awkward.
Social media users quickly weighed in. One user commented, “Like literally Aish is lifting Abhishek for no good reason, still look at his face!! He thinks he is Alexander of somewhere! Poor Aish.” Another quipped, “Bro, at least smile, how sweetly she's explaining it.” Others took a more humorous approach, with a user joking, “I think someone said 'statue.' That’s why he is frozen like that.”
Despite the online chatter, the couple recently made a public appearance together at the wedding of Aishwarya’s cousin Shloka Shetty’s brother in Pune. The two were joined by their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. Photos from the event quickly went viral, showing the trio posing with family members. Aishwarya wore a striking black outfit for one of the functions, while Abhishek kept it casual in a pink hoodie.
In another moment from the wedding celebrations, Aishwarya stunned in a red and gold anarkali paired with a polki necklace and matching maang tikka, once again winning hearts with her elegance.
While the viral video has reignited conversations about their on-screen chemistry versus off-screen dynamics, the couple has not responded to the latest wave of online speculation.
