Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has always preferred to keep her family life private, making every rare glimpse of her loved ones all the more special for fans. On Raksha Bandhan, a family photo shared by her brother Aditya Rai offered a peek into the actor's quiet celebration with her daughter Aaradhya and the rest of the family.
Aishwarya kept things understated for the occasion, opting for a white ethnic outfit with her hair left open and sunglasses casually perched on her head. Aditya went for a relaxed look in an off-white collared T-shirt and blue checked trousers. Shrima, who was also part of the celebrations with her sons Vihaan and Shivansh, wore a green and pink ensemble.
Aditya Rai has largely kept himself away from the public eye despite being Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s brother. He works as an engineer in the Merchant Navy and has rarely made appearances in the media. His only notable association with films came in 2003, when he co-produced Dil Ka Rishta, which featured Aishwarya in the lead. Their mother, Vrinda Rai, was also involved with the film as a co-writer.
On the work front, Aishwarya was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan II, which hit theatres in 2023. The actor took on dual roles in the period drama and shared the screen with Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi and Trisha Krishnan. She is yet to announce her next project officially.
Meanwhile, Aishwarya remained in the spotlight earlier this year for her appearances at the Cannes Film Festival 2026. Her red carpet outings once again sparked plenty of conversation, with the actress opting for a series of striking looks. One of the most talked-about was a custom beige gown by international designer Fjolla Nila, complete with intricate beadwork, crystal detailing and a dramatic feather cape. She also stepped out in a shimmering blue mermaid gown and later wore a structured white tuxedo finished with a statement feathered boa.
