Reddit wonders if Aishwarya Rai has removed Bachchan from her name after viral image from Dubai event

Aishwarya Rai appeared at a Dubai event recently, sans the Bachchan name in the graphic used to describe her as the speaker there.

Aishwarya Rai recently attended the Dubai for the Global Women’s Forum event in the UAE. While her compassionate speech about women’s empowerment made headlines worldwide, what caught the attention of many fans was that she was introduced simply as Aishwarya Rai at the event. There was no Bachchan, even in the graphic on stage, to denote her as the speaker. Given the rumours about her separation from Abhishek Bachchan, this has led to a lot of gossip on social media forums.

Aishwarya Rai at the Dubai event

A screengrab of Aishwarya’s speech at the Dubai event was shared on Reddit on Thursday. It showed her standing before a giant graphic denoting her as ‘Aishwarya Rai – International Star’. The post’s caption read, “Aishwarya Has Removed Bachchan from her official name?”

Many were convinced that it was indeed the case, and it confirmed the separation rumours. “She kind of looks happy here and it’s almost like so much weight has been removed from her heart and own self,” read one comment. Others supported her for the step. One wrote, “She was always THE Aishwarya Rai to me. Bachchan who? She looked absolutely stunning at the event BTW – perfect hair and makeup. This is what happens when you get rid of a disrespectful daddy boy.”

However, many debated against jumping to conclusions, arguing that it could be just a goof-up on the part of the event organisers. “Meanwhile the intern who skipped her surname cause there wasn’t enough space is shi**ing bricks right now,” quipped one Redditor. Another added, “It’s still there on her IG (Instagram)? I think it would really set things straight once she removes it from IG.” Aishwarya still goes by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on her Instagram.

Aishwarya and Abhishek’s marriage

Rumours of a fallout or separation between Aishwarya and Abhishek began when she and daughter Aaradhya arrived separately at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding earlier this year. The rest of the Bachchan family arrived later, even though everyone was seated together. When the Bachchans did not wish Aishwarya on her birthday – November 1 – on social media, it added more fuel to the rumours. The entire Bachchan clan, including Aishwarya, has maintained a stoic silence on the rumours.

Aishwarya was seen in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan films, released in 2022 and 2023. Abhishek’s most recent film – I Want To Talk – was released last Friday in theatres.

Wicked’s millions-worth box office Thanksgiving prompts Ted Lasso star’s The Wizard of Oz inspo confession

Wicked’s millions-worth box office Thanksgiving prompts Ted Lasso star’s The Wizard of Oz inspo confession

Amid Wicked Thanksgiving box office success, Brett Goldstein went into great detail about how Ted Lasso heavily borrows from The Wizard of Oz.

The simultaneous ‘Glicked’ movie showings, along with Moana 2’s cinematic premiere, are poised to make way for “one of the biggest Thanksgivings at the box office in modern times,” Variety reported on Wednesday. The Cynthia Erivo–Ariana Grande starrer epic musical Wicked defied gravity with record weekday box office returns as the Universal flick landed at $16.6 million. The November 26 results shot 5% over the Monday milestone of $15.8 million, bringing in the second-best November Tuesday after Frozen 2.

While the movie continues to earn mindboggling audience traction, the world has sunk itself back into classic obsession over all things Elphaba, Glinda and The Wizard of Oz. Amid the fantastical resurgence of the beloved saga, Apple TV+ breakout Ted Lasso’s fans have also revisited the Jason Sudeikis magnum opus. Drawing parallels with the L Frank Baum classic, especially with the titular coach’s home state as Kansas, viewers speculated if they’d indeed been taken on a walk down the yellow brick road.

Ted Lasso’s Brett Goldstein confirms The Wizard of Oz foundation

To their pleasant surprise, writer and Roy Kent star Brett Goldstein came clean about the hit series being a retelling of The Wizard of Oz.

“Oh yeah, there’s loads and loads of The Wizard of Oz in Ted Lasso,” Goldstein told Entertainment Weekly. Giving fans even more satisfaction, Goldstein even went as far as clarifying certain elements that had been borrowed from the classic and how the show’s characters were basically modern representations of the book’s icons.

“The pinball machine is the one that’s always ‘Ted has to go home. There’s no place like home.’ And then, there’s no place like Richmond F.C. Yes, that’s all Wizard of Oz.”

Listing out some of the main characters, including his own, he began, “I’m the Tin Man.” Sudeikis Ted’s is correspondingly Dorothy, Hannah Waddhingham’s Rebecca the Lion, and Phil Dunster’s Jamie Tartt the Scarecrow.”

Where’s the Ted Lasso pipeline headed?

Some serious talks surrounding the Apple TV show’s continuation after Ted’s Kansas return in Season 4 have surfaced online in the past few months. Although Sudeikis previously admitted that the Ted Lasso universe from the viewpoint of his character leading the action was over, fans have held out hope that more would follow. Consequently, this led to some virtual exchange of ideas around potential spinoffs exploring other characters as the main piece.

In August 2024, Variety reported that Ted Lasso Season 4’s journey was close to being greenlit. No official word has followed since.
