At the lavish wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was seen sharing a heartfelt moment with the soon-to-be mother, Deepika Padukone.
The tender interaction has captured the hearts of fans and rekindled memories of their bond from Isha Ambani's pre-wedding celebration.
In a video that has quickly gone viral on social media, Aishwarya Rai is visibly emotional as she hugs Deepika Padukone, who is expecting her first child with husband Ranveer Singh. The touching clip shows Aishwarya whispering something into Deepika's ear while Hrithik Roshan stands nearby, observing the moment.
This scene has reminded fans of the camaraderie the two actresses displayed at Isha Ambani’s pre-wedding bash in 2018. Then, Aishwarya had pulled Deepika onto the dance floor, where they danced joyfully together. Deepika later joined in dancing with Aishwarya’s daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, and posed for pictures with her.
During the recent wedding festivities, Aishwarya was also spotted warmly greeting veteran actress Rekha. In another heartwarming clip, Aishwarya and Rekha share a hug, with Rekha whispering something to Aishwarya before turning to embrace Aaradhya. Aishwarya then guided Aaradhya down the red carpet, holding her hand.
The news of Deepika Padukone's pregnancy, with her due date in September, has been a cause for celebration among fans and friends in the film industry. Many attendees at the wedding were seen offering their congratulations and best wishes to the glowing actress.
Aishwarya Rai and Aaradhya arrived at the wedding separately from the rest of the Bachchan family, which included Abhishek Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan, Navya Naveli Nanda, Agastya Nanda, and Nikhil Nanda. This separate arrival sparked speculation among fans about the family's dynamics.
