And the lady had a specific reason for the same…
Actress Sonyaa is certainly making a name for herself in the entertainment industry currently as she plays an important role in Star Plus’ Nazar right now. The actress’ full name used to be Sonyaa Gupta, however, she has now dropped her last name.
According to reports, Sonyaa has dropped her surname Gupta as it invited caste consciousness and standing in the social order. In an interview with Bombay Times, she mentioned how surname doesn’t just give away one’s caste but also economic status according to some people. And the lady herself doesn’t believe in doing so and hence decided to drop the surname.
However, social media platforms need a last name where the actress randomly put ‘pink’ as her last name a while ago. But that led many to think that it is actually her last name which obviously wasn’t the case.
Sonyaa never met her grandparents and hence as a tribute to her grandfather, she adopted the surname of Ayodhya.
So, here you go, Sonyaa Gupta is now Sonyaa Ayodhya.
