Bollywood's beloved power couple, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, chose the bustling streets of New York City to welcome the New Year, far from their home in Mumbai. After a discreet departure from India weeks prior with their daughter Aaradhya, their festive location was finally revealed through a flood of fan photos and videos on social media, sending their admirers into a frenzy.
NYC Sighting: Smiles, Selfies, and New Year Wishes
The much-awaited visual proof of the Bachchans' New Year getaway surfaced online, showing the duo in exceptionally high spirits. Dressed in a coordinated, chic all-black winter wardrobe, they were seen embracing the festive atmosphere. Demonstrating their characteristic grace, they happily paused their day out to interact with fans who spotted them.
They not only greeted supporters but also kindly obliged several requests for selfies and personal video messages. In one particularly heartwarming clip, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is heard sending out a genuine New Year's blessing. "Here's wishing you a very happy New Year, God bless and all my love always," the former Miss World said with a warm smile.
Abhishek's Work Break and Bollywood Company in the Big Apple
Abhishek Bachchan is currently on a short hiatus from his professional commitments. The actor had recently been filming for Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming high-profile action film 'King', where reports suggest he will be seen in the role of the antagonist. This New York trip serves as a perfect break before he likely returns to the sets.
Interestingly, the Bachchan family isn't the only Bollywood royalty celebrating the holiday season in the iconic city. Coincidentally, Abhishek's 'King' co-star Deepika Padukone is also in New York, vacationing with her husband Ranveer Singh and their daughter. The Singhs have been fully immersed in the tourist experience, visiting Christmas markets, enjoying local cuisine, and even catching a basketball game.
A Quiet Exit and a Public Celebration
The entire Bachchan family, including young Aaradhya, had quietly flown out of Mumbai for their year-end holidays, keeping their destination a well-guarded secret initially. It was only through persistent fan sightings and subsequent social media posts that it was confirmed the family was celebrating in New York. The public appearance and fan interactions in NYC provided a delightful glimpse into their private holiday, showcasing their down-to-earth attitude and love for their fans.
This New Year celebration highlights a continuing trend of Indian celebrities opting for international destinations to ring in the new calendar year, with New York remaining a perennial favorite for its iconic festivities and vibrant energy.
