Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Raksha Bandhan celebrations were a private family affair, but pictures shared by her brother Aditya Rai and sister-in-law Shrima Rai have offered fans a rare glimpse of the occasion. The photos feature Aishwarya with her mother Vrinda Rai, daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, brother Aditya, sister-in-law Shrima and their children.
Aditya kept his caption simple, writing, “Rakshabandhan2026.”
Aishwarya opted for a simple white ethnic outfit for the family occasion. She wore her hair open and had a pair of sunglasses resting on her head. Aditya was seen in an off-white collared T-shirt and blue checked trousers, while Shrima wore a green outfit.
Shrima had also shared pictures from the family celebrations two days earlier.
The rare family photo quickly attracted attention on social media, with fans leaving affectionate messages for the Rai family.
Aditya Rai has largely stayed away from public attention despite being Aishwarya’s brother. He reportedly works as an engineer in the Merchant Navy and has made only occasional appearances in the media.
Aditya co-produced the 2003 romantic film Dil Ka Rishta, which featured Aishwarya in the lead role. The film was also co-written by their mother, Vrinda Rai.
Aishwarya was last seen on the big screen in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan II, which released in 2023. The actor played dual roles in the period drama and shared the screen with Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi and Trisha Krishnan.
She has yet to officially announce her next film.
Earlier this year, Aishwarya also made headlines with her appearances at the Cannes Film Festival 2026.
