Aishwarya Rai was recently seen holidaying in New York, where she posed for a photo with a fan during a visit to a restaurant. The actress, notably without her husband Abhishek Bachchan and their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, was spotted for the first time since Abhishek made headlines by liking a post about divorce.
Rumors of a separation between the couple have been circulating for some time, but both Aishwarya and Abhishek have remained silent on the matter. Aishwarya’s solo trip to New York has further fueled speculation about their relationship.
The fan who shared the photo, identified as Jerée Reyna, posted it on Instagram, expressing her excitement at meeting Aishwarya. In the photo, Aishwarya is seen in a chic red and black outfit, accompanied by her signature smile. Jerée captioned the post, “Meeting your idol twice in one lifetime deserves a spot on the grid. Swipe to see me at my most unhinged. Aish, thank you for always being so kind to me. You listened so intently as I told you about the impact you’ve had on my life. It was always my dream to thank you for it. I wish you all the happiness and joy in this world.”

The photo quickly garnered attention on Reddit, where fans praised Aishwarya’s appearance and expressed admiration for her timeless beauty and elegance. Many also expressed hope for her successful return to Bollywood.
Aishwarya’s New York trip followed her attendance at the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Mumbai. Earlier this month, she was seen at the airport with her daughter Aaradhya. At the wedding, Aishwarya made headlines for walking the red carpet separately from the Bachchan family and for viral videos of her greeting Rekha.
