Aishwarya attended the Global Women’s Forum in Dubai, where she delivered a heartfelt speech focused on empowering women.
The official Instagram account of the event shared a clip showing Aishwarya on stage, where a large screen displayed her name as “Aishwarya Rai, International Star,” notably omitting the “Bachchan” surname.This omission led to speculation among social media users that Aishwarya has officially dropped “Bachchan” from her name.However, her Instagram profile still includes the surname, indicating that she has not formally removed it.Many users noted that Aishwarya has established her own identity and does not need to depend on the Bachchan name, suggesting that the absence of “Bachchan” was a professional choice for the event. Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan, who married in 2007, have recently been the subject of divorce rumors.Additionally, Aishwarya shared photos from her daughter Aaradhya’s 13th birthday celebration on Instagram, and Abhishek was notably absent from those images as well.
