Just call me Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan!

yes, papa: Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai
While speculation is still rife on whether Aishwarya will stick to her last name or take on the Bachchan brand name, an insider from the Bachchan parivaar spills the beans.
"It has been discussed by the family and Bachchan Senior feels it should be Aishwarya's decision, whether she wants to adopt the Bachchan name or stick to Rai. But Amitabh also made it clear he would be happy if Ash chose to be called Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan after she became part of the family. Big B is emotional about that particular last name as his father was called Harivansh 'Rai' Bachchan," says the source.
Meanwhile, our source also adds that Ash has no plans of quitting films after she ties the knot. "In fact, Jaya Bachchan (who quit films after getting married to Amitabh) has been most supportive. In one of her talks with Ash, she asked her not to give up on her career."
Home-bound
Our insider even rubbishes stories about Ash and Abhishek moving into a new residence after their wedding. "The Bachchans will all stay under one roof, and Ash and Abhishek are not moving into Prateeksha," says the khabroo.
