Well I am not pretty sure whether the famous Indian Actor (aka Serial Kisser) Emraan Hashmi has changed his name or not. It appears that he entered into film industry with a changed name itself. Here is what I found about Emraan in wikipedia
Emraan Hashmi (born as Emran Anwar Hashmi on 23 March 1979 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India) is an Indian actor. His birth name is Emran Anwar Hashmi, he is born to a Muslim father and Catholic mother. He later changed it to Farhaan Hashmi but recently decided to keep his original name but add an extra “a” as per numerology. However, wikipedia also tells us that source of this info is still to be verified.
Well if one use a little ‘Common sense’, he must know that the logical spelling of this name should be either ‘Imran’ (like that of famous cricketer Imran Khan) or it should be Emran. However, here the spelling is Emraan.
Let’s analyze it from a numerological point of view.
Emraan : The compound number is 18
Hashmi : The compound number is 19
Total 18 + 19 = 37
The meaning of compound number 37 is
37. This number has a distinct potency of its own. It is a number of good and fortunate friendships in love, and in combinations connected with the opposite sex. It is also good for partnerships of all kinds. It is a fortunate indication if it appears in connection with future events.
Clearly a lucky number for Emraan Hashmi !
Now let’s see what happens if he kept the name as ‘Emran’
The compound Number for ‘Emran’ is 17.
And that of Hashmi is 19.
Total 17 + 19 = 36
The meaning of compound number 36 is same as that of 27.
And the influence of 27 is
27. A lucky number promising authority, power, and command. It indicates that reward will come from the productive intellect. In simple words, persons with this” compound” number at their back should carry out their own ideas and plans.
As is clear 27 is also a lucky number. But if you read the influence of both 27 & 37, you can notice that 37 is a more fortunate number.
“It is a number of good and fortunate friendships in love, and in combinations connected with the opposite sexâ€
Can it describe the huge popularity of Emraan with Girls? May be

Career
Hashmi made his debut in 2003 with the film Footpath but it did not do well at the box office. He shot to fame with Murder (2004). Following films did not do as well.
Emraan is also famous for his kissing scenes in all of his movies. He is referred among the youngsters as serial-kisser (based on the fashionable word serial-killer) because of the number of kisses he does in his movies as this trend has started in the bollywood films from 4 years and was not common before. Emraan also described his first on screen kiss during an interview claiming that he was very nervous and almost opted out of the scene before going ahead and shooting it with the female co-star.
