Actors Who Changed Their Names

We know and love these famous stars by a certain name, but we’re sure you don’t know their real names! Let us tell you about it.

Kiara Advani
Everyone adores the shining star of Jugjugg Jeeyo and Satyaprem Ki Katha, Kiara! But her actual name coincides with another mega star’s name, so she changed it. The real name of this stunning lady is Alia Advani.


Akshay Kumar
Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia played a ten-second role in Mahesh Bhatt’s film. He portrayed a character named Akshay and loved the name. Since then, we have known him as Akshay Kumar.


Ajay Devgn
We all love B-town’s Singham. But very few people know that his real name isn’t Ajay! He changed it from Vishal before his debut in Bollywood.


Tiger Shroff
B-town’s action hero, Tiger, followed in the footsteps of his father, Jackie Shroff, and changed his name. His birth name is Jai Hemant Shroff, and we bet you didn’t know this.


Rekha
All love B-town’s graceful star, Rekha. She has given so many hits! But did you know that her full name is Bhanurekha Ganesan? Who would have guessed that the name that made her so iconic isn’t ever her real name?
