7 Bollywood Celebs And Their Real Names

Salman Khan

Be it Bhaijaan or Sallu Bhai, he is known by many names in Bollywood but did you know that his real name is "Abdul Rashid Salim Salman Khan"? It seems quite royal, right?

Ranveer Singh

His original name was Ranveer Singh Bhavnani. He dropped his surname Bhavnani, as he felt it was too long.

John Abraham

Initially, his name was 'Farhan Abraham', but later his father, who was a Marthomite Syrian Christian, named him John.

Akshay Kumar

Before becoming an actor, our very own Khiladi of Bollywood wasn't known by the name he has now. His real name is Rajeev Hariom Bhatia.

Jackie Shroff

He was born as "Jaikishen Kakubhai Shroff" in Udgir, Latur, Maharashtra. 

Priety Zinta

She was born in Shimla district and her real name is Preetam Singh Zinta. We think her new name Priety suits her more.

Shilpa Shetty

Her real name is "Ashwini Shetty", however, she replaced her first name with "Shilpa" so people can associate her to a glamorous actress that she is.
