She shared an old picture of Amitabh Bachchan with her daughter Aaradhya. She captioned the post, “Happy birthday paa-dadaji. God bless always.” She added a bunch of emojis in her usual style.
Aishwarya is the wife of Amitabh’s son Abhishek Bachchan. He did not post any social media wish for his dad on his 82nd birthday. Even his daughter Shweta Bachchan did not make any post.
Rumours of feud between Aishwarya and the Bachchan family
Rumours about tension between Aishwarya Rai and the Bachchan family started swirling in July during Anant Ambani’s wedding. Aishwarya and her daughter Aaradhya arrived for the wedding separately from the rest of the Bachchan clan— Amitabh, wife Jaya Bachchan, son Abhishek Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan, grandson Agastya and granddaughter Navya.
Later, Aishwarya headed to Paris fashion week, where no one from the family joined her except Aaradhya. At IIFA last month, Aaradhya was the only one by her side once again.
More fuel was added to the fire when Aishwarya was spotted without her wedding ring. No member from the family responded to the online chatter about their alleged ‘feud’.

The couple tied the knot on April 20, 2007, in a private ceremony attended by family and close friends. They welcomed their daughter, Aara
