Aishwarya Rai pulls the cheeks of Agastya Nanda in front of Abhishek Bachchan

The viral video showed that it was a proud moment for the entire Bachchan family. This was because Agastya, the third generation of the Nanda clan, had stepped into the film world. As seen in the viral clip, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya, Aaradhya, Amitabh, and the rest of the family members had come to support him for the movie. Ash pulled Agastya’s cheeks, made a pout, hugged Aaradhya and then clicked a family picture with Aishwarya and Abhishek.

Is Agastya Nanda keeping his distance from Aishwarya Rai?

The entire Bachchan family was present for the screening of Agastya’s film, The Archies. However, many fans noticed that Agastya and Aishwarya were physically present, but it looked like an emotional distance had crept in between them. Agastya is the son of Abhishek’s sister, Shweta Nanda, who is married to Nikhil Nanda. Agastya’s sister is Navya Nanda. Many public instances have added instances that have fueled the rumours that Shweta’s children are being distant from their aunt, Aishwarya.

Aishwarya Rai was not wished by Agastya Nanda, on her 50th birthday

Aishwarya had celebrated her 50th birthday with her daughter, Aaradhya. The Bachchan family was not seen in the celebrations. Neither Navya nor Agastya had posted anything for their aunt, on her special day. The same was seen even this year when Aishwarya turned 51 on November 1, 2024. While these instances may not give full proof evidence, some form of tension is painted in the family. Shweta’s kids maintaining their distance adds more layers of complexity to the entire situation.

When Agastya Nanda had revealed Abhishek Bachchan was his favourite family member

During a press interaction, Agastya was once asked about his favourite family member from the film fraternity. He had not taken the name of his mami, Aishwarya, but mama, Abhishek’s name. Fans noticed that the name of the Ponniyin Selvan actress was not mentioned. This made them believe that the bond between the duo had soured. On the other side, workwise, Aishwarya has yet to make any film announcements after Ponniyin Selvan II. However, if recent reports are to be believed, then Mani Ratnam has been on the lookout for a subject for a third film with Aishwarya and Abhishek for some time now. He has finally decided what he wants to do with them.
