Hindi film industry now has two actresses with the first name Priyanka.
Nisha Kothari , the voluptuous belle who sadly doesn’t have a hit film to her credit, wants to be called Priyanka Kothari from now on. She says Priyanka is her real name.
Does it have anything to do with her believing that Nisha is a jinxed name?
“No,” says Nisha.
“I was named Priyanka by my father. But when I joined the industry, there was already a Priyanka. So I took on the assumed name Nisha. But I was never comfortable with it. Whenever someone called me Nisha, I felt odd. I had been thinking of reverting to my original name for a while,” Nisha – oops, Priyanka – is quoted as saying.
Priyanka also adds that she is not a superstitious person to think that her assumed name had a bad bearing on her career.
