Aishwarya Rai

Former Miss World Aishwarya Rai will take her husband’s name to become Aishwarya Bachchan, said her father-in-law, Amitabh Bachchan.

Aishwarya, who married Abhishek Bachchan last weekend in a gala affair dubbed as “the wedding of the century,” has already signed an autograph as Aishwarya Bachchan, according to sources.

“She desires to use Bachchan as her surname,” said Amitabh.

Bachchan also said the young couple would move in with him and his wife instead of getting a home of their own.

“This decision came voluntarily from Abhishek and Aishwarya,” he said.

As for his daughter-in-law’s film career, Amitabh said he hopes she’ll continue starring in movies.

“Jaya and I have insisted that Aishwarya must continue with her acting career,” he said. “There is no problem or issue with us.”

Amitabh Bachchan’s wife, Jaya, is also a famous actress who largely stopped working in films after getting married.

The marriage of Bollywood’s two biggest stars has captivated the media for months, but Bachchan denied reports that photos from the wedding have been sold to a foreign magazine.
