Reality TV star Kendall Jenner has dropped her surname because she reportedly wants fame in the modelling world on merit without using her family's name.
The 18-year-old daughter of Kris Jenner and sister of Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, who has featured in the show 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' wants to make a career in modelling, reported the New York Post.
The official website of her modelling agency mentions her as Kendal, sans her surname.
"People think that this (success) just came to me, "But it didn't. What I have almost worked against me. It's great when people don't recognise me," she had said last month.
