Lakshmi Rai opts for a name change

Now, it’s Lakshmi Rai’s turn to opt for a name change. The gorgeous damsel thinks it’s better late than never. “Yes, my name in now Raai Laxmi. It is not exactly a name change. It is the same name but it is just that I am shuffling it a bit. I have added an extra ‘a’ to the Rai as it is going to be my first name,” explains Raai Laxmi.

Lakshmi Rai’s explanation on why she opted for a name change in a daily:

I was supposed to do this almost a year ago, but couldn’t because of prior commitments. One needs some time to do something like this as everyone knows me as Lakshmi Rai. My family named me after the Goddess. But nobody calls me Lakshmi. People have always called me either Rai or Lakshmi Rai. Even at home, they call me just Raai. Moreover, we have moved many places right from my childhood. So, I haven’t been able to spare the time for the name change. My dad has been insisting for a long time that I change my name to Raai as it goes with my personality. Even now, it all seems to be happening automatically. From now on, all my films will credit me as Raai Laxmi.
