It is something that none except Shilpa Shetty’s family and very close friends knew. But now the top secret is out.

No, it’s not her marriage date. Neither is it about any new gentleman in her life. But it is Shilpa’s little private secret that was hidden until now. The leggy lass’s real name is not Shilpa. It’s Ashwini. Ashwini Shetty is how Shilpa is named on legal documents like passport or election card.

According sources, Shilpa has admitted that her real name is Ashwini. The actress also disclosed that her name was changed for numerological reasons when she was just a teenager.

However the actress told that she is not used to being called Ashwini and loves Shilpa as her name.
