Editor, Time.news (ET): Welcome, Dr. Mehta! Thank you for joining us today to discuss the recent events surrounding Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai’s appearance at the global Women’s Forum in Dubai. The video of her emotional speech has certainly raised eyebrows, especially regarding rumors of her marital status. What are your thoughts on Aishwarya’s decision to present herself without the Bachchan name at this event?
Dr. Neha mehta (NM): Thank you for having me. Aishwarya’s decision to not use the Bachchan surname at such a significant global platform could symbolize her assertion of identity and independence. In an industry often defined by familial legacies, her move reflects a powerful statement about self-empowerment and personal identity, especially in the context of her influential speech on women’s empowerment.
ET: That’s a interesting take! Social media users have also been actively discussing this point. Some see it as a reclaiming of her individuality. Do you think this could be setting a precedent for other women in the industry?
NM: Absolutely! Aishwarya Rai has made a name for herself as an independent actress long before her marriage, and her current choices could inspire others to recognize and embrace their own identities. By choosing not to highlight her married name, she communicates that her worth isn’t tied to her husband’s fame. This aligns with the broader movement of women seeking to establish their identities apart from their partners.
ET: Speaking of marital status, the rumors about a possible divorce from Abhishek Bachchan have been circulating for quite some time. Given their marriage in 2007 and the absence of Abhishek in recent family posts, how significant are these developments in the public eye?
NM: The absence of a partner in family celebrations can indeed create speculation. It’s significant as it provides fodder for media and public interest, often leading to discussions not just about their personal lives, but about the impact of celebrity marriages on societal norms. The public’s fascination with Aishwarya reinforces the idea that relationships in the spotlight can influence cultural perceptions of marriage and divorce.
ET: In terms of the impact this might have on her career, do you think these rumors will affect Aishwarya’s public image or professional opportunities?

If she manages the buzz around her personal life with grace, it can further enhance her image as a strong, independent figure—especially if she continues to advocate for women’s rights. Many celebrities have faced similar situations, and those who channel their experiences into advocacy often gain deeper public respect and admiration. It’s important for Aishwarya to frame these narratives in a way that aligns with her values.
