Krushna Abhishek who was recently seen on the Maniesh Paul’s podcast made some interesting revelations about his name. He shared, “Only Maniesh calls me Krushna. My name is pronounced Krishna. Astrologer Sanjay Jumani got my name changed. Kashmera insisted. He told me to use ‘U’ instead of ‘I’. He told me I would get popular. Call it a coincidence, I made it Krushna and 10 days later I signed Nach Baliye and got famous.”
Krushna added, “My name is Abhishek Sharma. My mother was a big fan of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. When I was born, she named me after his son – Abhishek. I was named Abhishek because of Abhishek Bachchan. And then my name had to be removed and made Krushna, also because of Abhishek. When I got into acting, I was told there was already an actor by the name of Abhishek. At that time, websites were becoming popular. So when Abhishek’s name was typed, Abhishek Bachchan’s photos were shown first. I was told so and then thought, of course, they are the Bachchan family. They told me not to keep my name as Abhishek. So that’s how I became Krushna Abhishek.”
