Why did muslim actors adopted Hindu name?
This thing always wonders me.
In the past, especially black and white era. Why did muslim actors adopted Hindu names? Dilipkumar Madhubala Ajit Meenakumari Jayant (Amjadkhan's father) Were they ashamed to be muslims or they feared backlash from their brethren? ![]() ![]() |

Yusuf Khan was given a break in film industry by Devika Rani (yes, the same one who married the russian painter, Svyatoslav Roerich). It was Devika Rani who gave her a filmi Hindu name ![]() ![]()

Re: Why did muslim actors adopted Hindu name?
waise, i think it was because majority of the filmmakers were hindu? possibly? and they thought that muslim actors with muslim names may not get as much work / recognition?

Re: Why did muslim actors adopted Hindu name?
Quote:
Majority of cine-audience was Hindu or quasi-hindu... so for greater acceptance muslim actors changed their names (normally the protagonists of the movies happened to be a hindu..so it might be a reason as well). And the film-industry mostly comprised of Parsis and Muslims (and Bengalis).... since Parsis were relatively safe from being targetted...they stuck to their original names. I've heard that Dilip Kumar was offered several names since Yusuf didn't sound that good... one or two of them were muslim names but he chose Dilip. you can see most of them didnt carry a surname either...most probably to gain acceptance across the castes.
