Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai made headlines during her recent appearance at the Global Women’s Forum in Dubai, but not just for her inspiring speech. Observant fans noticed that her surname, “Bachchan,” was missing from the event’s promotional materials and name display, fueling ongoing rumors about her divorce from actor Abhishek Bachchan.
Videos from the event, shared by the Dubai Women Establishment’s official Instagram handle, showcased Aishwarya addressing the audience with poise and elegance. She emphasized the significance of innovation, determination, and women’s empowerment while exuding grace in a bright blue ensemble adorned with silver accents. In the event visuals, her name appeared as “Aishwarya Rai—International Star,” with no mention of “Bachchan.”
Speculation Surrounds Aishwarya and Abhishek
This omission comes amidst heightened speculation about the couple’s marital status. The buzz began when Aishwarya attended a high-profile wedding solo, accompanied only by her daughter Aaradhya. While Abhishek Bachchan appeared separately with his parents. Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, and sister Shweta Nanda. Adding fuel to the fire, Abhishek reportedly liked an Instagram post that discussed divorce and has since been linked to actress Nimrat Kaur, his co-star in the film Dasvi.
In response to the escalating rumors, Amitabh Bachchan addressed the matter indirectly in a blog post. While refraining from explicit mentions, the Bollywood legend critiqued the spread of unverified information and the sensationalism surrounding it.
“It takes immense courage, conviction, and sincerity to be different,” Big B wrote. He went on to express his disapproval of speculative reports, particularly those framed with question marks to imply doubt while inciting curiosity. “Speculations are speculations… They are speculated untruths, without verifications,” he added, emphasizing the harm caused by such narratives.
Amitabh acknowledged that while speculation serves the commercial interests of certain professions, it often sows seeds of unnecessary doubt. “Write, express whatever you like… but when you follow it up with a question mark, you not only imply the possibility of falsehood but also subtly urge the reader to believe and spread it further,” he concluded.
Despite the chatter, neither Aishwarya Rai nor Abhishek Bachchan has commented publicly on the rumors. Leaving fans to await any official word on the status of their relationship.
