Several videos of the couple celebrating New Year's in NYC have been doing the rounds on Instagram.

The couple twinned in all-black winter ensembles, looking effortlessly stylish despite the chilly weather.

Abhishek Bachchan Addresses Divorce Rumours
The couple's New Year outing comes amid months of speculation around their marriage. Over the past year, Aishwarya and Abhishek's personal lives have been under intense scrutiny, with rumours of a rift frequently making headlines. However, their recent joint appearances, including this family holiday, appear to have put much of the gossip to rest.
In an earlier conversation with Peeping Moon, Abhishek firmly dismissed the rumours. He said, "If you're a public figure, people are going to speculate about every little thing. Whatever rubbish has been written is absolutely false. None of it is based on fact; it's just wrong and intentionally hurtful."
He added, "Before we got married, they were guessing our wedding dates. After we got married, they started deciding when we're separating. It's all nonsense. She knows my truth, I know hers. We return to a loving, grounded family - and that is what truly matters."
When asked if the speculation bothers him, the actor clarified that it doesn't.
