Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently attended the Global Women’s Forum in Dubai, where she delivered an emotional speech on women’s empowerment.
The event’s official Instagram page shared a video showing the actress on stage, with her name displayed behind her: “Aishwarya Rai, International Star,” omitting the surname Bachchan.
This led to a flurry of social media reactions, with many users speculating that Aishwarya had officially removed Bachchan from her name.
However, a fact-check by News18 confirmed that Aishwarya’s full name remains unchanged on her verified Instagram profile, where she is still listed as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Some social media users suggested that the exclusion of Bachchan was a professional choice rather than a personal one, emphasizing Aishwarya’s identity.
The speculation comes amid ongoing rumors about Aishwarya and her husband Abhishek Bachchan’s alleged separation.
Adding to the buzz, Aishwarya recently shared photos of their daughter Aaradhya’s 13th birthday party, which notably did not feature Abhishek.
