Waheeda Rehman:

"They said, 'Because we don't like your name'. I asked them why not? They said, 'Firstly because it is too long, Waheeda-Rehman. It should be more modern. Something sexy and juicy.' I said bhaiyya what is a sexy and juicy name? 'No, it's customary here, like Madhubala, Nimmi, Nargis, Meena Kumari. We don't like it. How do we call you Waheeda Rehman?' I said, 'Didi, why do you need to call me Waheeda Rehman? Simply call me Waheeda'."

I can't imagine any newcomer having the guts to refuse to change their name. It's pretty obvious that the "length" wasn't the problem they had with her name. That and her refusal to wear any costume she feels uncomfortable in or doesn't suit her character. Respect.
