We know that few celebrities change their names once they make it into the glam world. But, will that really matter to us? Some say yes, but if you look at them from the other side, they just come into your life as one character. Now name that character whatever you want, it is going to be the same. What’s in the name?
Just kidding around!! Names are the ones that make us unique and choosing acting has got these actors two names. There could be many reasons to do so. For example, let’s take 2 reasons:
i) When their name is too long or strange, they wish to have a screen name. Ex: Manchu Bhakthavatsalam Naidu as Mohan Babu
ii) When their name doesn’t look appealing. Ex: Anushka as Sweety.
