Aishwarya Rai's name features without 'Bachchan' at a Dubai event, sparks fresh divorce rumours with Abhishek

Aishwarya graced an event of Global Women's Forum where she spoke on women's empowerment.

As she arrived on the dais, Aishwarya Rai, and not Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, flashed on the big screens behind the 51-year-old Indian actress.

Rumours of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's separation have been doing the rounds on social media for a while now.

Even Aishwarya's recent post giving a peek at her daughter Aaradhya's birthday party was missed by Abhishek.

Abhishek's absence in the pictures added fuel to the fire of divorce speculations one more time.

Refraining from commenting on the rumours, Abhishek in a recent interview to The Hindu had said, "Even in my household, I'm very lucky I get to go out and make the movies. But I know that Aishwarya is at home with Aaradhya, and I thank her immensely for that.

"But I don't think the children think of it that way. They don't look upon you in third person. They look upon you in the first – you're the parent, the father or the mother."

Aishwarya, a former Miss World, tied the knot with Abhishek in 2007. The couple were blessed with daughter Aaradhya in 2011.

On the professional front, Aishwarya and Abhishek featured together in a number of films including popular ones- Dhoom 2, Guru, Sarkar Raj, Raavan.
