We have some talented celebrities in the industry. These celebs share a common name. Let’s take a look at a few actors who share the same name and at times caused confusion because of it. (As per reports in Times Of India)

Popular actress Nayanthara changed her birth name Diana Mariam Kurian for her cinema career. Though you may think Nayanthara is a unique name and no other actor in the world have it, you are mistaken. An actress from Malayalam, Nayanthara Chakravarthy is making her Kollywood entry with ‘Gentleman 2’, and the name stirred up confusion during the announcement.

There have been several people named Aishwarya in the industry. From veteran actress Aishwarya, to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rajinikanth, the list goes on. Since Aishwarya Rajesh, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan use their surnames, it helps in avoiding confusion to a certain extent. However, there is still confusion, when they are mentioned only as Aishwarya in film announcements, and fans have to wait for some time to confirm which Aishwarya it is.

Malavika and Malavika Mohanan are part of Tamil cinema. As both of them are extremely popular through their performances, we cannot really blame the audience if they mistake one for another.

Two Ravi’s are more popular in Tamil cinema, one is Nizhalgal Ravi and the other is Jayam Ravi. But actors, who started their career with the biggest hits, added the name of their debut movies as a prefix to avoid confusion.
