Aishwarya Rai’s close relationship with veteran actress Rekha is reportedly a significant factor behind her ongoing tension with the Bachchan family. Although neither Aishwarya nor her family have publicly addressed the rumored discord, their actions have been telling. The Bachchan family attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding without Aishwarya, who was seen arriving with her daughter, Aaradhya.

According to a Koimoi report, Aishwarya’s association with Rekha might be a source of friction with the Bachchans.

The two actresses were seen sharing a warm embrace at the Ambani wedding, with Rekha also interacting affectionately with Aaradhya. Amitabh Bachchan’s complicated history with Rekha adds to the controversy surrounding Aishwarya’s close ties with her.

In the past, Aishwarya and Rekha have been seen together on multiple occasions, including at the NMACC event where Rekha was seen with her arms around Aaradhya. Aishwarya and Rekha were also spotted walking hand in hand in 2019 after a poetry event.

Rekha has previously expressed her admiration for Aishwarya in a heartfelt letter, praising her for her two decades in the industry and referring to herself as Aishwarya’s ‘Rekha Maa.’

Netizens have reacted with mixed feelings, some supporting the bond between Aishwarya and Rekha, while others criticized Abhishek Bachchan for his absence at recent events with his wife and daughter.
