Golu, Molu, Bholu, Motu…whatever your nickname is, it’s special. Usually, our near and dear ones call us by such names. Some have cute nicknames and some have really funny nicknames…but they are special.

Tellychakkar.com caught up with a few Bengali actors to know their nicknames and whether they like it or not. Read on. 

Rajdeep Gupta: My nickname is Futkorai. I was given this name because I loved eating Futkorai when I was a kid. I like my name.

Jasmine Roy: My mother calls me Munia and my father calls me Babai. I love both of my nicknames. I also love the name Jasmine. Many think that I changed my name after stepping into the industry but it’s wrong. Just the way other parents assign a proper name for their child, my father chose Jasmine for me.

Shaurja Bhattacharya: I like my nickname. It’s Johnty but it has become John for my friends because they find it easier to call me by that name. I like the name John too as it soundsnice.

Sweta Bhattacharya: My nick name is Mou. It was chosen by my Mama (maternal uncle). I like my nickname a lot. 

Sheikh Rezwan Rabbani: My nickname is Sunny. I like it because it’s a cool name.   

Prapti Chatterjee: Actually, Prapti is my nickname. My proper name is Srogdhara Chatterjee. Since it’s difficult for almost everyone to pronounce my name correctly (at least on the first attempt), I use my nickname.
