Amid ‘Jaya Amitabh Bachchan’ row, old video of Aishwarya Rai’s reaction to being called ‘Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’ goes viral: ‘Oh, the titles…’

An old video has resurfaced on social media showing Jaya Bachchan’s daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai’s reaction to being addressed as ‘Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’.

The controversy over Jaya Bachchan being addressed by her husband’s name in Parliament continues, with the latest incident involving her clash with Rajya Sabha Chairman and Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar.

Meanwhile, an old video has resurfaced on social media showing Jaya’s daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai’s reaction to being addressed with Bachchan as her surname.

Over a week ago, Jaya first voiced her dissatisfaction when Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh called her Jaya Amitabh Bachchan and the Samajwadi Party

MP reminded Singh that calling her “Jaya Bachchan” would be enough. However, the Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman mentioned that her name was officially listed with Amitabh as middle name and that he was merely following that.

On Monday, during the ongoing monsoon session, Dhankhar addressed her by her full name, once again irking the parliamentarian.

“Sir, I hope you know the meaning of Amitabh. I mean, I am proud of the association with my marriage and my husband and of his achievements. But this is a new drama started by you all. This did not use to happen before,” she said.

In response, Dhankhar informed her that there was a provision to change the name on the election certificate.

In the throwback video that has now gone viral, Aishwarya Rai can be seen taken by shock when the interviewer introduces her “Aishwarya Rai Bachchan”.

With absolute surprise, she says on her face, “Ohoo… the titles… My god! Just regular Aishwarya, the way you have known me”.

When the journalist asks her if Rai Bachchan has become her official surname, the global icon replies, “Aishwarya Rai as it has been professionally known who got married to Abhishek Bachchan.

So, obviously, Aishwarya Bachchan. Make what you want to out of it,” with her ever-graceful smile.

Actor and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai married power couple Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan’s son Abhishek Bachchan in 2007. The couple has a daughter, Aardhya.

It may be mentioned here that speculations about family tensions in the Bachchan fort have been rife ever since Aishwarya, along with Aaradhya, posed separately for the media at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s recent wedding, while the rest of the Bachchan family, including Abhishek, appeared together.

After Aishwarya Rai Bachchan skipped posing with Abhishek Bachchan and his family at Anant Ambani’s wedding, the actor recently reacted to a divorce post.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan grabbed all the attention after she arrived at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding separately from her husband, Abhishek Bachchan, and her in-laws. While the entire Bachchan clan posed together, Aishwarya came along with her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, which left everyone wondering if the divorce rumours were true. Later, in the inside glimpses from Anant Ambani’s wedding, we saw Aishwarya and Abhishek together, which brought a sigh of relief. However, amid this, Abhishek’s social media action again grabbed attention.

When Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan were later spotted together at Anant Ambani’s wedding, people thought that maybe everything between the couple was fine and it was only a family feud, as reported earlier. Amid this, we stumbled upon a post by an author, Heena Khandelwal, on IG, wherein she talked elaborately about divorce. The post featured a cover of an article/book about ‘divorce’, and the title reads, “When love stops being easy.” The subhead under the post could be read as:

“Couples who have been married are now parting ways. What has prompted their decision and why are grey divorces on the rise?”

In the caption, the author details the aspects that her article/book covers, such as ‘grey divorces’ or ‘silver splitters’ and more. She also, in her caption, wrote that her article/book features about the hardship of separation, including how couples who had spent years of togetherness cope with parting ways with one another and how it would be so difficult for them to accept, as they once dreamt of being together and live the moments like the hand-holding old couples that we see in several videos or movies. However, what grabbed the attention was Abhishek Bachchan’s like on it, which yet again sparked rumours about his split with Aishwarya.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan kept a distance from the Bachchan clan as she appeared at Anant Ambani’s wedding

The split rumours between Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan yet again began, when the actress arrived at Anant Ambani’s wedding with her daughter. On the other hand, the Bachchan clan posed for a family photo, including Abhishek, Shweta, Jaya, Amitabh, Nikhil Nanda, Navya, and Agastya. It seemed a bit unusual as only Aishwarya and Aaradhya were missing from the frame. Such an incident instantly ignited the ongoing divorce rumours between the couple.

On the other hand, Aishwarya met Rekha at Anant’s wedding. The actresses shared a warm hug, and Rekha also blessed Aaradhya. Amid this, some inside glimpses from the wedding went viral, wherein Abhishek and Aishwarya could be seen alongside each other. It left netizens thinking that everything was fine between the couple and that it was a family feud that kept Aishwarya away from posing with the Bachchans.

Last year, reports were rife that Aishwarya had moved out of Jalsa, and was not on cordial terms with Jaya. It was also reported that Jaya and Aishwarya hadn’t talked for years. As per a report by Times Now, Aishwarya and Abhishek have been facing issues in their marital life for a long but they are together for Aaradhya.
