Resurfaced on social media is an old video that shows Aishwarya Rai, Jaya Bachchan’s daughter-in-law, reacting to being called “Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.”
The newest episode in the ongoing issue over Jaya Bachchan being called by her husband’s name in Parliament involves her altercation with Vice-President and Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, Jagdeep Dhankhar. Aishwarya Rai, Jaya’s daughter-in-law, is shown in an old video reacting to being addressed with Bachchan as her last name on social media.
Jaya initially expressed her displeasure more than a week ago when Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh referred to her as Jaya Amitabh Bachchan. The MP for the Samajwadi Party then reminded Singh that just calling her “Jaya Bachchan” would be enough. The Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, however, clarified that he was just following her middle name, Amitabh, as it was legally stated. The legislator was agitated when Dhankhar called her by her full name on Monday during the ongoing monsoon session.
“Sir, I’m hoping you understand what Amitabh means. To be honest, I’m proud of my husband’s accomplishments and our relationship. However, you guys have launched a brand-new drama. This was not the case in the past, the woman claimed. Dhankhar replied by telling her that the election certificate included a feature that allowed for name changes.
When the interviewer refers to Aishwarya Rai as “Aishwarya Rai Bachchan,” she can be seen looking shocked in the old footage that has now gone viral. She expresses complete amazement on her face by saying, “Ohoo… the titles… Oh, Lord! Just Aishwarya the way you know me, regularly. The worldwide icon says, “Aishwarya Rai as it has been professionally known who got married to Abhishek Bachchan,” in response to the journalist’s question about whether Rai Bachchan has become her official last name. Thus, Aishwarya Bachchan. She said, “Make what you want out of it,” grinning ever so gracefully.
In 2007, actor and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai wed Abhishek Bachchan, the son of power couple Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. Aardhya is the couple’s daughter.
It should be noted that since Aishwarya and 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, there have been a lot of rumors about family strife in the Bachchan fort.
