Bollywood has witnessed many name changes by stars. From Yusuf Khan (Dilip Kumar), Abdul Rashid Salman Salim Khan (Salman Khan) to Rajiv Bhatia (Akshay Kumar).

Recently Akshay shared the story of his name changing. Akshay who was promoting Naam Shabana said, "No one has ever asked me this question. My first film was Aaj (1987) which was directed by Mahesh Bhatt and starred Kumar Gaurav. The name of Gaurav’s character was Akshay. I had a 4.5-second role in it and I would only observe Gaurav and his acting. I don’t know what happened but one day I just went to the court and got my name changed."

Akshay also said, "I don’t know why I changed my name .... I just went to the Bandra East court and got it done. Main kucch bhi nahi tha us time pe phir bhi maine visiting card banwaye. Then I went out to get work, time was in my favour, and I got films after that."
