New Delhi: Ah, the tangled web of Bollywood surnames and marital bliss! Just when you thought the drama was cooling down, here we go again!
Bollywood’s diva, Aishwarya Rai, is back in the spotlight, and no, it’s not for her dazzling looks or her latest film. It’s her reaction to being called ‘Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’ that’s causing quite the stir on social media. 🥳
Here’s the video that’s got everyone buzzing:
In this throwback gem, the ever-gracious Aishwarya is seen looking rather bemused when journalist Anupama Chopra introduces her as ‘Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’. With a chuckle, she retorts, "Ohoo…that title is…my god! Just regular Aishwarya, the way you have known me.” 😅 Ah, the eternal struggle of maintaining one’s maiden name in Bollywood!
When Chopra probes further, asking if ‘Rai Bachchan’ is her official surname, Aishwarya, ever the diplomat, smiles and replies, "Aishwarya Rai as it has been professionally known, who got married to Abhishek Bachchan. So, obviously, Aishwarya Bachchan. Make what you want to make out of it.” Classic Aishwarya, giving us all the vibes of a seasoned pro who knows how to handle the media circus! 🎪
Now, here’s the fun twist. This viral video surfaces just as Jaya Bachchan, the original queen bee of the Bachchan clan, made headlines with her own name saga. During a recent Rajya Sabha session, she was quick to correct Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh for calling her ‘Shrimati Jaya Amitabh Bachchan’. "My identity is independent of my husband’s name," she declared. You go, girl! 💪
But wait, there’s more. When the Vice President suggested that she might want to change her name on her election certificate, Jaya shot back, "No, sir. I’m very proud. I’m very proud of my name and my husband and his achievements. It signifies ‘abha jo mit nahi sakti’ (a light that cannot be extinguished). So, don’t worry. Ye drama aap logo ne naya shuru kiya hai – yeh pehle nahi tha (This is a new drama you guys have started – it wasn’t there before)." Bravo, Jaya! Always one to keep things spicy in the political arena! 🌶️
Let’s not forget, Aishwarya tied the knot with Abhishek Bachchan in April 2007, and they have a lovely daughter, Aaradhya. So, whether she goes by Rai or Bachchan, one thing’s for sure – she’s a superstar in her own right!
Nisha’s Nutshell: In Bollywood, what’s in a name? Apparently, a whole lot of drama! Whether you’re a Rai, a Bachchan, or just "regular Aishwarya," the spotlight never dims. So, here’s to the names that light up the silver screen and the headlines – because in Bollywood, the surname game is always on! 🌟
