Abhishek Bachchan was spotted at the residence of Farah Khan a day after the filmmaker's mother passed away. The actor shares a close bond with the choreographer-turned-director and has featured in her film Happy New Year. However, what caught the attention of social media users was that Abhishek arrived without his wife Aishwarya yet again at the prayer meeting. The solo appearance of the actor comes at a time when the couple's divorce rumours are still afresh.
Farah and Sajid Khan's mother passed away in the wee hours of July 26. Several celebrities and friends of the family paid their last respects to Menka Irani who breathed her last at the age of 79. A day after the funeral, Abhishek Bachchan visited the director to pay his respects.
However, amid rumours of a tiff within the Bachchan family, the Dhoom actor once again ditched a public appearance with his wife Aishwarya Rai. Abhishek was accompanied by his sister Shweta Bachchan and nephew Agastya Nanda. The solo appearance of the 48-year-old actor has once again raised eyebrows and fuelled the rumours of his divorce. Several reports claim that Aishwarya and Aaradhya Bachchan have already moved out of the Bachchan household and are living separately while Abhishek continues to live with his family. However, there is no official confirmation about the same.
On July 26, Rani Mukerji was among the first celebrities to arrive at Farah Khan's residence to pay her last respects to her mother. The actress sported a white outfit as she condoled the family for their loss. As per media reports, Menka Irani was unwell and in the hospital for a few days. She is survived by her children Farah and Sajid Khan.
Other celebrities who arrived at the funeral were Fardeen Khan, Maniesh Paul and Vikram Phadnis. Neelam Kothari and Seema Sajdeh were also spotted outside the choreographer-turned-filmmaker's residence. Bhushan Kumar, who recently suffered from a family tragedy himself, also arrived to pay his respects to Menka. His cousin Krishan Kumar lost his young daughter Tishaa just a few days back.
