Fact Check: Did Indira Bhaduri, Jaya Bachchan’s mother and Amitabh Bachchan’s mother-in-law, pass away? Here’s the truth

Reports about the death of Jaya Bachchan’s mother, and Amitabh Bachchan’s mother-in-law, Indira Bhaduri, are false. Contrary to the rumors, Indira Bhaduri is alive. However, she did suffer a spinal fracture and was subsequently hospitalized for treatment.

Official Statement from the Bachchan Family

To clear the air, a representative from the Bachchan family issued an official statement, firmly denying these baseless rumors. The statement reads:
“Recently, several media reports have claimed that Jaya Bachchan’s mother, Indira Bhaduri, has passed away, stating that her son Abhishek Bachchan rushed to Bhopal in response to this tragic news. However, these reports have been confirmed as false.”

The statement further highlighted the emotional toll such false news can have on families, urging fans and the media to rely on verified information:
“At this time, Jaya Bachchan and her family have not experienced any loss. We kindly request fans to remain supportive and to seek reliable updates, avoiding engagement with misleading or unverified information. The emotional toll on families during trying times is profound, and they should not have to contend with the added burden of false reports. We urge everyone to respect the privacy of the Bachchan family at this time and to seek information from reliable sources for future updates.”

Aishwarya Rai’s Family Gathering Misinterpreted

Adding fuel to the rumors, reports also emerged suggesting Abhishek Bachchan’s absence from a recent family gathering hosted by his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. This absence was mistakenly connected to the false reports of Indira Bhaduri’s death. However, the truth behind this gathering was far from the grim narrative.

According to social media, the gathering was actually a birthday celebration for Aishwarya Rai’s cousin. Aishwarya was seen attending the intimate event with her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, and her mother, Brindya Rai. The party’s photos were shared by Aishwarya’s cousin, and there was no connection between the celebration and the circulating rumors.
