The actor said that her mother had always been sceptical about her choice to get into the entertainment industry. She was scared about the uncertainty in the field and was also worried about the judgement that would have been passed by the society. For this reason, Rashami Desai was asked to change her name from Shivani to Divya. For a while, Divya Desai remained her stage name but was later changed to Rashami after she consulted a friend who is an astrologist.
