Mumbai, India - In recent news, Bollywood remains abuzz with developments concerning Aishwarya Rai-Abhishek Bachchan and Shilpa Shinde. The former couple made a public appearance, while Shinde is set to reprise her role as Angoori Bhabi.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan were recently spotted together at their daughter Aaradhya's school annual day function, dispelling recent rumors surrounding their marriage. The couple attended the event with Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya's mother, Vrinda Rai. Aishwarya was seen in a black saree, while Abhishek was sporting his look for the upcoming film, King. Abhishek was seen as a gentleman, making way for the ladies first.
The appearance follows Abhishek Bachchan's recent strong denial of divorce rumors. In an interview, he dismissed the speculations as "falsehood, manufactured rubbish," emphasizing that such narratives are baseless and malicious. He highlighted the importance of media responsibility and stressed that false reports about his family would not be tolerated. Abhishek also lauded Aishwarya for how she has raised their daughter Aaradhya, who is aware of the rumors but does not believe everything she reads. He pointed out that speculation about his relationship with Aishwarya began long before their marriage, initially focusing on when they would get married and now shifting to predictions of a separation.
In other news, Shilpa Shinde is making a comeback as Angoori Bhabhi in the popular sitcom Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain 2.0. After nearly a decade, Shinde is returning to the role that she previously left, with Shubhangi Atre having stepped into the role after Shilpa's exit. The show is set to premiere on December 22 on &TV and Hindi Z5. The new season promises an eerie twist, transporting the familiar characters to a new village called Ghoonghatganj.
Shinde expressed her excitement about returning to the show and the character. She admitted she never thought she would come back to Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain 2.0, attributing her return to destiny and evolving relationships. Shinde also shared that she was welcomed warmly by the cast and crew, including Aasif Sheikh, Rohitashv Gour and Vidisha Srivastava, which eased any initial apprehension. She emphasized her commitment to maintaining the essence of Angoori Bhabi, ensuring that the audience finds the same character they cherish. "It would not be fun if we changed Angoori even slightly. Angoori mein zyada Shilpa Shinde nahi dikhni chahiye," she stated.
The return of Shinde has generated a nostalgic and enthusiastic response from fans. The promo for the new season has already drawn strong reactions, with viewers expressing their excitement and emotional connection to the character.
