What's in a name!

Kiran Dubey has two names. The actor's school friends call her Smita, while the rest of her friends and folks at home prefer to call her Kiran. Interestingly, her parents wanted to name her Milan before she was born, but chose to call her Kiran later.
"My neighbours were very fond of me and Smita Patil was a rage when I was to get into kindergarten, so my neighbours thought of naming me Smita. All my school friends call me Smita while every one else call me Kiran. In fact, I prefer Kiran to Smita but my passports and bank documents have both the names," says Kiran Dubey, who is incidentally a big fan of super cop Kiran Bedi.
The actor is happy with her ongoing travel reality show Jet Set Go on Star One, but intends to become a filmmaker in the future. Besides there are a few film offers in the offing too. Here's to you, Smita, Kiran...err, whatever!
