The Namesake Saga

Anushka Singh, better known as Rekha Desai of SAB TV's Don't Worry Chachu, is having a tough time dealing with her name, due to it's stark similarity with leading Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma.

Sharing this dilemma with Tellybuzz, Anushka said, "Actually, I have no clue as to how my cell number got leaked. I've been getting a lot of calls from people who believe that I am Anushka Sharma with comments like 'I am a big fan of yours', 'You've done a great job in Band Baaja Baarat' etc. When I explain to them that I am Anushka Singh and not Anushka Sharma they think that I'm lying. And it's not only fans but even a few people from the industry approached me and wanted to meet me, thinking that I was her. One fan literally wanted to marry me and was insisting that I was lying to get away from the situation."

To all those Anushka Sharma fans, hope this article clears your confusion.
