This fun post is about celebrities and their real names. I never knew that they had different names earlier. So let’s see which name would you prefer. 😛
1. Katrina Kaif:
This beauty has changed her name from Katrina Turqoutte to as we know her “Katrina Kaif”. Imagine how difficult it would have been to pronounce that surname. 😛
2. Salman Khan:
Katrina’s ex-boyfriend Sallu bhai has also changed his name from Abdul Rashid Salim Salman Khan to Salman Khan. I wonder how difficult it was for him to choose his first name from that long name.
3. Amitabh Bachchan:
Mr. Amitabh has changed his name from Inquilab Srivastav. I like his previous name more as it suits his personality. Also he changed his surname from Srivastav to Bachchan as it was his father’s pen name.
4. Aamir Khan:
This awesome actor has taken his name from Mohammed Aamir Hussain Khan. I think he has applied his perfectionism on his name also. 😉
5. John Abraham:
This dimpled guy didn’t like the name Farhan Abraham and changed it to John. Anyways, whatever be his name I will still love him.
6. Ajay Devgan:
Our famous Singham has changed his name from Vishal Veeru Devgan. Nobody knows the actual reason behind it.
7. Mallika Shrawat:
Our favorite item girl has derived her screen name from Mallika meaning queen and Sherawat is her mother’s maiden name. Her actual name is Reema.
8. Akshay Kumar:
Mr. Khiladi’s original name was Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia. He has completely changed his name without any derivation from the original.
9. Nana Patekar:
His original name was Vishwanath Patekar, but he changed it to Nana. I think this name suits him best actually.
10. Shilpa Shetty:
Miss Perfect Figure’s original name was Ashwini Shetty, but she preferred to change it to Shilpa. I think Shilpa is far better than Ashwini.
11. Preity Zinta:
This pretty girl was named Preetam Singh Zinta. I don’t know how she would have managed with this name through out her life.
12. Sunny Deol:
This hulk had Ajay Singh Deol as his real name. But, you might have noticed that most of his characters had the name Ajay.
13. Rekha:
I really don’t understand how she manages to look so young till date. Her actual name is Bhanurekha Ganesan.
14. Bobby Deol:
His actual name is Vijay Singh Deol. I think if he had kept his name unchanged he might have Vijayed the screen also. 😛
I hope you enjoyed this post. 🙂
