Talking about the same, Sai Ketan Rao told Times Of India, "I have been very close to my nana (maternal grandfather).

So everyone in this industry knows me as Sai Ketan Rao, whereas on paper, it is still Khadsay, which comes from my father." 

Further, he added, "My parents were happy about my decision. They know that I have spent my entire childhood and even after I went to college, with my grandfather. I was emotionally very connected to him, so my father too is happy about me adding his name to mine."
