What is Nia Sharma's birth name? 

Speaking with Hauterrfly, Nia Sharma revealed that she changed her name and Nia is not her birth name. Yes, you read that right! The actress shared, "My original name on my documents and my Google profile is Neha Sharma. Before I entered the industry, when I was in college, there were 8 Neha Sharmas in line, back to back. Roll numbers used to be in line."

Revealing the reason for changing her name, Nia said, "When I joined the industry, I realized this name is not going to be okay and the world has many Nehas. So I switched to Nia and not astrologically or anything. Nia means vibrance and it just stands out and you can have a screen name."
