First name only: Kajol, Rekha, Sridevi: Our Cher, Madonna, Beyonce


From the early days of Bollywood, we've had mononymously famous actress, Nargis, Nutan, Madhubala... to Rekha, Sridevi, Kajol...  


mononym 
mon-uh-nim
ˈmɒn ə nɪm / noun 

The name of a person who has or is known by only one name, usually a given name without a surname. 

Example: "... Bajans know her as Robyn Fenty, but she is known in the rest of the world by her mononym, Rihanna...."
