‘This is my identity & would like to continue this,’ says Kajal Aggarwal on not changing surname after marriage, leaves for honeymoon with husband Gautam Kitchlu

Kajal Aggarwal and husband Gautam Kitchlu are off to honeymoon, though they are not revealing the destination yet. Kajal updated fans about the trip by posting photos on Instagram on Saturday.

She shared photos of their luggage and what seems to be their passports with custom-made covers. They are marked 'Gautam Kitchlu' and 'Kajal Kitchlu', indicating that she has changed her surname after her October wedding. However, her social media accounts still bear her maiden surname. She spoke about it to an online portal and said that changing her name is a decision she will take in time.

On one of the pictures, Kajal wrote, "Ready to go", another one said, "Bags are packed." Earlier this month, Kajal had also shared pictures of her first Karwa Chauth celebration on Instagram Story. Kajal and Gautam got married on October 30 in Mumbai.

While talking to a portal, about taking up her marital surname, Kajal said, “(It is) Wonderful, but I am still acclimatising. I am getting used to being called Mrs Kitchlu. Although, I love the sound of it. It’s a whole new phase of my life and I am still adapting. I think people need to change their perspective on this subject as well. Like I was emphasizing in my letter about various other subjects."

She further added, "I don’t believe in this particular approach. I feel like, if you worked all your life to get to a certain level, you need to maintain that. This is my identity and I would like to continue this. It’s my discretion when I want to do what. So, I feel like I am going to continue my discretionary powers over this, and will not allow other people’s opinions to dictate how I live.”
