Many Bollywood celebrities have changed their names for various reasons, including superstition, ease of memory, and even because their original names already existed. Iconic stars such as Dilip Kumar (born Yusuf Khan) and Rekha (born Bhanurekha Ganesan) took new names that shaped their illustrious careers. This tendency continues today, and here are some notable examples:

Kiara Advani- Alia Advani
Tiger Shroff- Jai Hemant Shroff
Shilpa Shetty- Ashwini Shetty
Badshah- Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia
Tabu- Tabassum Fatima Hashmi
Akshay Kumar- Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia
Katrina Kaif- Katrina Turquotte
Amitabh Bachchan- Inquilab Shrivastava
