There was a great deal of indignation on social media when lead heroine Samantha changed her instagram profile name from "Samantha Akkineni" to "S." However, eventually it was revealed that she had divorced her husband, naga Chaitanya, which is why her name had changed previously. But if a single heroine achieves it, what will others think?

Samyuktha Menon, who subsequently appeared in the movie Bimbisara, surprised her instagram admirers recently by removing the surname "Menon" from her display name on the profile page. The actress responded by saying that her mother had split up from her father and didn't want her to have the "Menon" surname. Many people are asking why this heroine chose to make such a change. She dropped the last name out of respect for her mother's wishes.

Additionally, the actress said in an interview that surnames are not the best things to have if we all need equality. These days, anything that movie stars post on social media sparks conversation, and these well-known heroines are only upping the ante with these name changes. Samyuktha, who primarily features in Malayalam, Tamil, and telugu films, recently discussed why she decided to erase her last name from her social media profiles.
