Bollywood stars and their pet names - Page 2

Thought her pet name was Indian Princess. #CannesRedCarpet

It's quite easy to be smitten by 'Titoo'. She exudes warmth, intelligence and super style. But perhaps, you couldn't quite figure her out? Here's a Sen sational clue. Yeah, 'Titoo' happens to be Sushmita Sen! And that's her cute little pet name.

Most stars have become synonymous with her pet names. Mention 'Lolo' and 'Bebo' and the identification is instantaneous. The Kapoors, Karisma and Kareena, probably must have quit wincing a long, long time ago and got accustomed to producers/ directors/ co stars / spanking new acquaintances calling out to them by their pet names.

Both KK gals are die hard fans of Sridevi, who was lavished with a homely pet name: "Pappi" (quite common among South Indians).

The Kapoor brothers were conferred with pet names which stuck onto them like glue. Randhir Kapoor ('Dabboo'), Rishi Kapoor ('Chintu') and Rajiv Kapoor ('Chimpu')🤣 have never really been able to shrug off or outgrow their pet names.

Rakesh Roshan happens to be 'Guddu', and his hunky scion Hrithik goes by the pet name of 'Duggu', which is merely his dad's pet name reversed!

Amrita Singh aka 'Dingy' has a pet name that sounds a bit ominous (more like a dark, dingy room). Pity, her current status is rather Un Saif too.

Govinda has been lavished with the most awful pet name one can imagine: 'Chi Chi'. Sounds like an urgent visit to the loo!

Raakhee's pet name remains unknown, though her daughter Meghna Gulzar figures in public psyches as 'Bosky', the name of a popular Japanese fabric.

If Amitabh Bachchan was 'Munna' to his dear departed parents, Abhishek is the naughty 'Junior' at home. 'Munni' merely happens to be Shabana Azmi; her hubby Javed Akhtar is also known as 'Jadoo'( who certainly weaves magical words!) . Konkona Sen Sharma goes by the pet name of 'Koko' ( a name conferred upon her by Shabana Azmi, no less)

Amitabh Bachchan's entourage are all huge fans of Dharmendra, who's popularly hailed as 'Papaji'. His scion, Ajay is more famed as Sunny Deol.

Papaji' brings to mind, 'Kakaji' or Rajesh Khanna as he's equally renowned as. The "original superstar" or "phenomenon" of Hindi cinema.

With all this brouhaha over pet names, the classic question remains: If Dharmendra is 'Papaji' and Rajesh Khanna is 'Kakaji', then what does that make Anupam Kher? 'Mamaji'?

Consider it Kher fully.

Are we talking nicknames given by family or colleagues? Like Zeenat Amaan was called Zeenie and Mumtaz was called Mumu by colleagues?

I used to think Kapoor family had weirdest nicknames like Chintu, Chimpu, Dabboo, Lolo etc.

But Dingy and Duggu take the cake in weird nicknames. Who nicknames a young girl "Dingy"?!

@bold: In KWK season 2 (I think) there was an episode with the Kapoors, KJo asked for a nickname for Shahid (Shahid-Bebo were dating then) and someone replied 'Dodo'.🤣

The worst and rather narcissistic IMO nickname belongs to Rajiv Kapoor (Ram Teri Ganga Maili). There is a large gap between Randhir and Rajiv, so Raj Kapoor nicknamed him Chimpu aka Champion. 😵. No matter the context, puts the name in a bad light for me.
