Anjali Sharma, who is now known as Yahhve Sharma, says her offbeat name sets off a conversation every time she meets someone

Her name is not only unusual but also an ice- breaker. Yahhve Sharma is not her birth name. Anjali Sharma’s reasons to rename herself were reaffirmed when Nawazuddin Siddiqui, her costar of upcoming film Section 108, advised her so. The more she realised as to how her first name, Anajli, a rather commonplace one, did not grab any eyeballs, the more convinced she became that Yahhve, which means union of heaven and earth, could be the game-changer. She shares, “Every time I meet people they are intrigued and my offbeat name sets off a conversation.”
