Prithviraj
addressed
the
controversies
regarding
his
daughter
Alankrita’s
surname,
through
his
official
Facebook
page.
The
actor
made
it
clear
that
he
has
no
intention
to
highlight
the
caste
name
in
his
daughter’s
name;
but
feels
that
it
should
also
carry
the
name
of
her
mother,
along
with
the
name
of
father.
Prithviraj
announced
that
his
daughter
is
named
Alankrita
Menon
Prithviraj,
through
his
official
Facebook
page
today.
But
the
post
made
controversies;
as
the
actor
has
earlier
expressed
his
displeasure
on
keeping
caste
names
as
the
second
name
or
surname.
The
actor
cleared
the
controversies
by
stating
that,
the
name
“Menon”
represents
his
wife
Supriya
Menon;
not
the
particular
caste.
Prithviraj
revealed
that,
earlier
they
had
decided
to
name
their
daughter
Alankrita
Supriya
Prithviraj,
but
later
changed
it
into
Alankrita
Menon
Prithviraj,
as
the
former
name
looked
odd
with
three
first
names.
Prithviraj
also
made
it
clear
that,
he
doesn’t
support
the
system
of
keeping
father’s
name
alone
as
the
surname
for
the
kids.
The
actor
feels
that
mother’s
name
should
be
added
to
the
child
name
with
prior
importance;
as
mother
is
the
most
important
person
in
a
kid’s
life.
He
also
made
it
clear
that
he
is
completely
against
to
any
kind
of
caste
discrimination
and
will
remain
the
same
in
the
future
also.
