He says, “My mother met a numerologist, who advised this addition of a name for me. She has seen me work hard all these years. I have done good work, but she feels that I deserve a lot more, be it on the work or financial front. After contemplating for a few days, I decided to go ahead with it. I have faith in my mom’s faith (smiles). Among the options, I felt an immediate connection with the name, Reyaan, which means fame. I already feel positive and motivated. My mother and I plan to change it legally, too.”
