In 2017, according to the leaked Panama Papers, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her family members were part of a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands for at least three years.

The papers detail financial and attorney-client information for more than 214,488 offshore entities. The documents, some dating back to the 1970s, were created by, and taken from, former Panamanian offshore law firm and corporate service provider Mossack Fonseca.
