Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently made headlines after her appearance at the Global Women’s Forum in Dubai. At the event, she delivered a heartfelt address on women empowerment, applauding the panelists for fostering inclusivity across various domains.
While Aishwarya’s speech drew praise, social media was abuzz over an unexpected detail. As she stepped on stage, the screen behind her displayed her name as “Aishwarya Rai | International Star,” omitting the “Bachchan” surname. This omission fueled rumors about the actress dropping her marital name, further amplifying ongoing speculation about her and Abhishek Bachchan’s rumored divorce.
Despite the chatter, a review of Aishwarya’s verified Instagram profile confirms her full name remains “Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.” The use of her maiden name at the Dubai event appears to have been a stylistic or professional choice, rather than a personal statement.
Amid the speculation, Aishwarya’s focus on gender equality and empowerment stood out. Her presence at the Global Women’s Forum highlighted her continued commitment to advocacy for inclusivity and progress for women worldwide.
While the rumors persist, there is no official indication of Aishwarya changing her name or her marital status. For now, her appearance reinforces her status as a global icon advocating for meaningful change.
