Sushanth (Telugu actor) was mistaken as late Sushant Singh Rajput
Telugu actor Sushanth too faced this mistaken identity crisis in 2020 when the death of Sushant Singh Rajput had caught everyone's attention. A few social media users were confused with the Telugu actor and instead of SSR. The main reason for this confusion was that both the actors had delivered some successful films, shared the same age group and of course the name.

Sanjana was mistaken as Sanjana
Recently there was one such confusion due to mistaken identity again due to similar names and both being actresses, where Sanjana Galrani (Telugu-Kannada actress) was mistaken to be the winner of a beauty pageant when ‘Sanjana Anne’ had won the ‘Miss-Misses India 2021’ Grand Finale Pageant.

Actress with the name 'Aishwarya'
Not just the above, still many such name confusions exist especially in the entertainment industry due to having a similar name. There are at least half a dozen actresses with the name ‘Aishwarya’ namely Aishwarya Bhaskaran (Tamil actress), Aishwarya Arjun (Kannada actress), Aishwarya Rajesh (Telugu actress), Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (Hindi actress), Aishwarya Dhanush (Rajinikanth’s daughter & film director) and Aishwarya Lekshmi (Malayalam actress) without having a proper suffix it is very tough for the public to know who is who.
