Is Jiah Khan going for a name change?


What is in a name! Who said this famous line? It is me. Well, what difference would it make to William Shakespeare if he has already declared that there is nothing in a name? However, Jiah Khan would certainly mind it. Well, she is going for a change in her name for the second time now.
The beautiful lady was Nafisa before getting into Bollywood. For some reasons – best known to her, she changed her name from Nafisa to Jiah Khan. But now she is contemplating of going back to her original name. Why Jiah is going back to a name change is still unclear yet. But she is sure to retreat.
She is so serious about the change in her name that she even posted message on her Twitter account and asked her followers for their opinion. “Thinking of changing my name back to my original name Nafisa...what do you guys think? Needs some more opinions.”
It is not the first time that any Bollywood personality has gone for a name change. The legendary thespian Dilip Kumar’s original name is Yusuf Khan. The very recent example is of popular actor Akshay Kumar, whose original name is Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia.
Such name changes are okay. However, is there any example of an actor going back to the original name after being recognized by the pen name? if anyone knows it, please contribute it here.
