Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan took center stage at the prestigious Global Women’s Forum in Dubai, where she passionately spoke about women’s empowerment and praised panelists for their efforts to promote inclusivity across industries.
A video from the event, shared on the official Instagram page, showcased her impactful presence as "Aishwarya Rai | International Star" flashed on the screen behind her.
The omission of her marital surname, "Bachchan," in the video has fueled fresh speculation on social media about her relationship with actor Abhishek Bachchan.
Rumors of a separation resurfaced after the clip went viral, sparking a heated debate online.
A quick investigation revealed no formal change in Aishwarya’s name. The use of her maiden name at the Dubai event appears to be a professional choice by the organisers, aimed at maintaining brevity.
On her verified Instagram profile, her name has still listed as "Aishwarya Rai Bachchan."
The couple's relationship has long been the subject of speculation, amplified by their separate attendance at prominent events earlier this year.
Fans noted the absence of Abhishek and the Bachchan family in photos from Aaradhya’s recent birthday celebration, further fueling conjecture.
Aishwarya was spotted at Mumbai airport on Thursday morning, returning from Dubai. Dressed in an elegant all-black outfit, the actress radiated positivity as she greeted paparazzi, showing no signs of personal upheaval.
