Aishwarya Rai Sparks Speculation of Dropping ‘Bachchan’ Surname After Dubai Event

Dubai: Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai, celebrated worldwide for her talent and beauty, continues to captivate millions of fans. While she has delivered numerous blockbuster films, her recent headlines revolve more around her personal life than her professional endeavors. Reports suggest tension between Aishwarya and her husband, Abhishek Bachchan, and a viral video from a recent event in Dubai has further fueled the rumors.

As per the agency report, at the event, Aishwarya spoke on women empowerment, donning a stunning blue dress paired with an intricately embroidered jacket. However, what caught everyone’s attention was the large screen on stage displaying her name as simply "Aishwarya Rai" without the "Bachchan" surname, alongside the title "International Star." This omission has led to widespread speculation about whether she has dropped her marital surname. Notably, her Instagram profile still reads "Aishwarya Rai Bachchan," and she continues to follow her husband, Abhishek Bachchan. Recently, she shared a picture of her daughter Aaradhya with her grandfather Amitabh Bachchan on his birthday.

Rumors of Divorce Intensify

The absence of the "Bachchan" surname at the Dubai event has reignited discussions about a possible rift between Aishwarya and Abhishek. Speculation about their divorce has been ongoing for months. Earlier, when Abhishek attended the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant with his family, Aishwarya arrived later with Aaradhya, fueling talks about marital discord.

Adding to the chatter, Aishwarya recently celebrated Aaradhya’s 13th birthday and shared pictures on Instagram. The photos notably excluded Abhishek or any other family member, further sparking rumors about their relationship troubles.

While no official statement has been made by either Aishwarya or Abhishek, these incidents have kept fans and media abuzz with speculation about the status of their marriage.
