Interestingly, just like many Bollywood faces, celebrity numerologist Sanjay Jumani suggested a name change to Kiran five years back, but the actor didn't follow the number game and ignored the ever increasing tribe of 'lets change our name'.
However, the little angel in his life made the strong-headed man a soft father and once again Kiran consulted Sanjay. To his surprise this time, the numerologist did suggest him few letters for his daughter, but again emphasized on changes in Kiran's name. "I remember meeting Sanjay five years back, but honestly I didn't want to change name for career growth or money as I believe it's all about hard work.
When my daughter was born I wanted a name which would bring positive energy and hence I consulted Sanjay. He suggested letters like U V S L G for my daughter. And, Sanjay also reminded me about his suggestion about my name. He stated that my name should compliment my daughter," said Kiran.
"So, after 20 days of research we decided the name Karanuday so that it matches my daughter's name Valerie. That's what makes a man a father, who becomes sensitive towards small things also when it comes to well-being of his child (he chuckles). We made few changes to my wife Ritu's name too and now we spell it as Ritoo. In fact, our surname Janjani has become Jenjani," he adds.
Is this change official we ask and he asserts, "The name Karanuday was also there in my janam patri and also compliments my daughter's name. So, we have done the change even on papers. In fact, even in my movies and shows everywhere the name will be officially spelled as Karanuday Jenjani."
