Reacting to the photo, a fan wrote in the comments: “This post slaps all the rumours.” Another added, “Love how Abhishek's glasses match your lipstick! (sic)”

“Happppy Wedding Anniversary to the lovebirds (sic),” wished another fan.

Someone also commented, “Finally sab thik ho gya (everything is fine)...nothing is more important than family.”

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's divorce rumours

Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan were rumoured to be heading for a divorce. What fueled the rumours was their lack of public appearances together. 

Previously, the rumours intensified when Aishwarya and Aaradhya arrived separately for Anant Ambani's wedding. The rest of the Bachchan family, including Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan, Agastya Nanda, and Navya Nanda were spotted reaching the venue together. It led to speculation about Abhishek and Aishwarya's separation.

However, they were recently seen dancing together at a family wedding, squashing further rumours about separation.

Though Aishwarya rarely posts on social media, her latest post puts the rumours to rest for good.

On the work front, Aishwarya was last seen in filmmaker Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan II. She has not announced any new projects since.

On the other hand, Abhishek was last seen in Remo D'Souza's dance drama Be Happy, alongside Nora Fatehi, and child artist, Inayat Verma. He will be next seen in Housefull 5. It is said to star Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, and Chunky Pandey.
