Not all were born with perfect showbiz names, some were too long, few sounded similar to others and few were too ethnic. Our Bollywood hotties meet for all those showbiz masala by choosing a different stage name for themselves. They dumped their real names and jumped into the name-change bandwagon. Let's name a few...


Nisha and Amoha : By reverting to her original name, Priyanka Kothari is all set to earn the name and fame in Bollywood. The girl who was Nisha Kothari earlier was also called Amoha at one point of time. With so many changes in her credentials let's see if it brings any luck to the hottie.

Mona Chopra : Sherlyn really needed a name that stands out and also sounds unique. For someone so much in the spotlight a common name like 'Mona' really won't do. Also to put forth an outrageous image, an outrageous name is a must. Isn't it?

Reema Lamba : We know that Reema Lamba did all on her own but part of her success can also be attributed to her changed rich and royal name 'Mallika Sherawat'. Now with many Reemas in the industry the empress thought she must sound unique.

Katrina Turquois : A rose will still smell the same even it's name is changed. Katrina changed her surname Turquoise to Kaif and is called Katrina Kaif now. It wasn't required Kat. We never mind you hooking to your roots provided you will be perfect Kat of Bollywood forever.

Neeru Sawant : Did you know Rakhi Sawant has dropped her birth name 'Neeru Sawant'? But Rakhi we think if you didn't change your name and stick with Neeru you would not have lost much. With all the dramas and reality shows in your kitty you would have still managed to create all that hype and hoopla.
