Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently attended the Global Women's Forum in Dubai, where she enthusiastically discussed women's empowerment. The event's official Instagram page shared a video showing Aishwarya praising the panelists for their efforts in creating a more inclusive future across various fields. When Aishwarya took the stage, her name and profession were displayed as "Aishwarya Rai | International Star," without the "Bachchan" surname. This omission sparked speculation on social media about Aishwarya possibly dropping her married name, especially amid persistent rumors about her and Abhishek Bachchan's alleged divorce.

However, Aishwarya's verified Instagram profile still shows her name as "Aishwarya Rai Bachchan." The video from the Dubai event likely used her maiden name for brevity or professional purposes, not indicating an official change in her surname. Speculations about Aishwarya and Abhishek's relationship have been circulating for some time, intensifying after the two made separate appearances at the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. Additionally, photos shared by Aishwarya from her daughter Aaradhya's birthday celebration did not include any Bachchan family members, further fueling discussions among fans.
