Eyebrows were raised when the Bachchan family arrived at the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant on Friday. While Amitabh, Jaya, Shweta and Abhishek posed for photographs together, there was no sign of Aishwarya Rai and Aaradhya. Only later, Aishwarya and Aaradhya arrived and chose to have a separate photo-op.

Now, an old video has surfaced from Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone’s wedding reception in 2018, when Aishwarya couldn’t stop smiling as she was seen with the rest of the Bachchan family.

The video was posted by a fan page of Aishwarya Rai on Instagram, which dated back to December 2018, when Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone had hosted a grand wedding reception. It was attended by the Bachchans together, as the video saw Amitabh Bachchan, actor-wife Jaya Bachchan, daughter Shweta Bachchan, along with daughter-in-law and actor Aishwarya Rai. She could not stop giggling along with Shweta, as Jaya also smiled and chatted with her while taking photographs together.
Amitabh had also shared an inside glimpse from the party hosted by Ranveer and Deepika, captioning the picture of the dance performance that took place at the reception. “It’s the girls vs the boys at Deepika-Ranveer wedding bash .. and the girls are winning.. the reactions of Vidya and Hubby and Arshad are proof,” he wrote in a caption.
In one picture, Deepika and Jaya were seen smiling, as they stood in front of Amitabh and Ranveer. In another photo shared by Amitabh, Ranveer can be seen laughing. Big B said the “boys” accepted the defeat “gracefully”.
