MUMBAI: Numerology and astrology have been followed by many celebs. The correctness of this cannot be assured but plays a significant role for many. Have a look at popular actors who changed their names or added additional letters for the sake of numerology.

Ridheema Tiwari from Ridhima Tiwari
The actress gained popularity after Sasural Genda Phool. While the pronunciation of her name remains the same, the actress made amendments in her name by replacing I with ee.
The actress was told to do so for the sake of her drowning career. She ventured into the Bollywood industry with her debut in 2017 with the film Begum Jaan.

Nia Sharma from Neha Sharma
Asia’s sexiest woman changed her name from Neha to Nia. The actress was loved for her performance in Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai and was later seen in the reality show khatron Ke Khiladi.

Rohitashv Gaud from Rohitash Gaud
Tiwari Ji from the popular comical sitcom Bhabhi Ji Ghar par hain is indeed one of the favorite characters from the show.
The actor even had a brief stint in the Bollywood industry and has played a supporting role in various blockbuster films like Kya Kehna, Munnabhai M.B.B.S., A Wednesday, and PK.

Anita Hassanandani from Natasha Hassanandani
Anita Hassanandani was formerly known as Natasha. While her initial name Natasha had also suited the actress well, she went on to change her name much before she entered the glam industry.
The actress reportedly did so after being told that she could gain more business from her changed name rather than the previous one. She has even ventured into Bollywood as a lead in the film, Krishna Cottage and has been a part of various other regional movies.

Vahbiz Dorabjee from Vahbbiz Dorabjee
Looks like many actors and actresses just went on to add additional letters in the name. This is possibly one of the best methods to keep both their names and numerology intact.
Pyaar Ki Yeh Ek Kahani fame Vahbiz Dorabjee dropped an extra letter. While the reason behind the same is not known, it is estimated to have been done for numerology.

Rashami Desai from Divya Desai
Do you know that Rashmi Desai was initially known as Divya Desai? Well yes, this actress gained tremendous popularity after she participated in the reality show Bigg Boss. The third runner-up of the show made changes in her name after her mother consulted a numerologist.

Veebha Anand from Vibha Anand
While this did not make any significant transformation in the pronunciation of her name, Veebha Anand replaced i with ee.
While this must have been done to gain more popularity and fame, it looks like this was not destined and could not help in the sinking career of the actress.

Gauahar Khan from Gauhar Khan
Right from getting fame with the film ishaqzaade to her performance as a winner in Bigg Boss, she became an all-time favorite and a household name for the audiences. The actress added a to her name though it still gets pronounced the same.
