Check Out Real Names Of These 6 South-Indian Actresses!

Our actresses have done a lot to win their position through not just acting but through various other ways like a great makeover and even name changes. Here are few actresses who have changed their names. While some did before entering the movie, some had other reasons to change. Meet the 6 actresses with different names:

 

1. Nayanthara: Nayanthara’s real name is Diana Mariam Kurian and she was born in Kerala. However, the leading lady did not change her name for the sake of entering the film business but because she converted to Hinduism. So technically, she adopted the name Nayantara and might we say, that name really does justice to her beautiful eyes (Nayan-eyes and Thara-star).
