What's in a name?


Shakespeare quoted, 'What's in a name?' On the contrary, not only does an individual's name hold immense significance in his/her life, even their nick name plays a similar role.

Let's find out the pet names of some of our TV stars. And believe us their responses were equally unique!!!



Sachin Verma

Pet name: Sunny. I loved Beetab and Sohni Mahiwal in which my favourite hero Sunny Deol featured. So I preferred being called Sunny. Following the trend set by me, my real sister was called Hunny and my cousin as Munny!








Anuj Saxena

Pet name: I don't have any pet name as everyone at home and relatives call me Anuj, which is short and sweet. But in my company, Elder Pharmaceuticals I am addressed as Dr. as I joined my business after doing my MBBS.








Gaurav Chopraa

Pet name: Gorru. My masi (maternal aunt) gave me this name as I was very fair. During my childhood days I used to play a lot in the sun and as a result I got tanned. When my masi saw me her instant reaction was, 'mera Gorru kala kaise ho gaya?' (How come my Gorru has turned so dark?) Ironically I have benefited by not being light-skinned as people find me tall, dark and handsome.







Anoop Soni

Pet name: Anu. My family has been calling me Anu since childhood. I have a very funny incident to tell you. Once my relative called out for me as 'Anu bhaiyya' and a girl standing in my vicinity turned back - her real name was Anu. She was wondering who's calling her bhaiyya! That's a problem with a unisex pet name like mine.









Amit Verma


Pet name: I don't have a pet name as Amit is already too short a name. But my online fans with whom I interact prefer to call me A .V.











Arjun Bijlani

Pet name: Jun. My cousin started calling me Jun and others started doing the same












Moon

Pet name: Bua. My father calls me by this nick name since childhood and I like it.

 

 

 





Sajnee Shrivastava

Pet name: Rosy. My grand mom chose this nick name for me. If today if someone cals out for Rosy on the roads, I respond to it.
