Nicknames are an integral part of any Indian home; they are frequently cringe, sometimes adorable, and seldom relevant. Most of the time, they are treasures from our youth, a mark of identification bestowed upon us by close friends or family that remains with us for the rest of our lives, and Bollywood celebs are no exception. From Rajesh Khanna’s ‘Kaka’ to Taimur Ali Khan’s ‘Tim,’ this time-honored ritual appears to resurface in every generation.
