Bollywood Stars And Their Superstitions
Most of us have some kind of superstition and so do the Bollywood stars. They are no different than the ordinary man when it comes to lucky charms and superstitions. You can spot B-towns celebrities going to temples, dargahs etc to pray and ensure that their movies are blockbusters. For example,
Katrina Kaif always visits Ajmer Sharif Dargah before the release of her films. The tinsel-ville stars have even started to change the alphabets of of their name just for a stroke of superstitious luck. Ajay Devgan has removed the "A" from his surname and now goes by Devgn only. Ritesh Deshmukh, on the other hand has added "I" to his first name making it Riteish. Well for some stars it has brought good luck as in the case of Ajay Devgn who has given his biggest hits post his name change and for some like Vivek Oberoi,well let's just say it hasn't quite worked out.
While some do not change their names but do believe in naming their movies or TV shows with a certain initial. Ekta kapoor has an inclination towards the word "K" as most of the shows she produced started with the initial, like - Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Ditto goes for Karan Johar whose earlier movies all started with a "K", like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, etc. Karan managed to get rid with the obsession when he named his 2010 movie, My Name Is Khan.
