Lekha loves being Washington

In Bollywood, you�name is all-important. And�your surname is even more important.�Most actresses do not reveal their surname unless it is famous, like Kapoor or a Bachchan.

Now Lekha Washington, who is making her Hindi debut with Rajeev Khandelwal in Peter Gaya Kaam Se, has been advised by the so-called industry experts to change her surname, as 'Washington' is not filmi enough! But Lekha being Lekha is adamant that she would never do any such thing.

And we support her completely. What does a name�have to do with her work? There was a time when Abhishek Bachchan was advised to drop his famous surname to bring him luck in films! But the actor stuck to his guns and look at him now! Not only is he going places,�he is married to one of the most beautiful women in the world!

So Lekha, just continue doing�capital work and fame will follow; "Washington" in India will be linked to your name�more than to the capital of the US!
