Aishwarya Rai recently attended the Dubai Global Women’s Forum event in the UAE. While her compassionate speech about women’s empowerment made headlines worldwide, what caught the attention of many fans was that she was introduced simply as ‘Aishwarya Rai’ at the event, without the ‘Bachchan’ surname.

A screengrab of Aishwarya’s speech at the Dubai event was shared on Reddit, showing her standing before a graphic denoting her as ‘Aishwarya Rai – International Star’. This led to speculation that Aishwarya may have removed the ‘Bachchan’ surname, fueling rumors about a potential separation from her husband, Abhishek Bachchan.However, many debated against jumping to conclusions, arguing that it could have been a simple goof-up by the event organizers. Aishwarya still goes by ‘Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’ on her Instagram account.

Rumors of Aishwarya and Abhishek’s Separation

Rumors of a fallout or separation between Aishwarya and Abhishek began when she and their daughter Aaradhya arrived separately at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding earlier this year. The rest of the Bachchan family arrived later, even though everyone was seated together. When the Bachchans did not wish Aishwarya on her birthday on social media, it added more fuel to the rumors. The entire Bachchan clan, including Aishwarya, has maintained a stoic silence on the rumors.

Aishwarya’s Professional Engagements

Aishwarya was recently seen in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan films, released in 2022 and 2023. Abhishek’s most recent film, I Want To Talk, was released last Friday in theatres.

This response from Shrima was seen by many as a subtle dig at Aishwarya for not sharing pictures of her or her family on social media. Some Reddit users speculated that this could be a sign of tension between Aishwarya and her sister-in-law.However, others argued that Shrima’s response was unnecessarily harsh and that she could have handled the situation better. One user commented, “She could have responded in a less crass manner, who snaps like a 5-year-old kindergartener.”

It’s worth noting that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her in-laws, including Shrima, have generally maintained a low-profile and private relationship. The entire Bachchan clan, including Aishwarya, has remained silent on the rumors surrounding any potential fallout or separation.
