A recent video of Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai has sparked a fresh debate on social media.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently attended the Global Women’s Forum in Dubai, where she delivered an emotional speech about women’s empowerment.
The event’s official Instagram page shared a video showing Aishwarya walking on stage, where her name was displayed on a large screen in the background as “Aishwarya Rai, International Star.”
The absence of the surname “Bachchan” led social media users to speculate whether Aishwarya has officially dropped it from her name.
However, a quick look at Aishwarya Rai’s Instagram profile suggests otherwise, as her name on the platform still includes “Bachchan.”
Some social media users commented that Aishwarya has her own identity and does not need the “Bachchan” name. They suggested that omitting the surname at the event was likely a professional decision.
Notably, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan tied the knot in 2007, but rumors of their separation have been circulating for some time now.
Recently, Aishwarya shared pictures from her daughter Aaradhya’s 13th birthday celebration on Instagram. However, Abhishek Bachchan was noticeably absent from these photos.
