Bollywood’s elite are turning to Hindu mythology for their babies’ names, creating a buzz in parenting circles. Madhur Bhandarkar’s little Parvati is a beautiful tribute to the goddess of strength and fertility. Equally striking is Vivek Agnihotri’s son Vedvid, derived from ‘Veda’ and ‘Vidya’, embodying scriptural enlightenment.
This isn’t mere whimsy. Celebrities consult pandits and name experts to ensure astrological alignment. Tusshar Kapoor’s Laksshya suggests a focused aim, akin to Arjuna’s resolve in the Mahabharata. Shilpa Shetty’s Viaan carries the aura of cosmic preservation, much like Vishnu.
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s daughter Raha, meaning path or journey, subtly invokes divine guidance. Karan Johar’s kids Yash and Roohi blend tradition with creativity—Roohi signifying soulful spirit. Ayushmann Khurrana’s son Varushka hints at boon or gift from gods.
The appeal lies in simplicity and profundity. These names are easy to pronounce globally yet rich in meaning. Social media amplifies their reach, inspiring fans worldwide. Nameologists say such choices enhance a child’s confidence through inherent positivity.
From Parvati’s nurturing vibe to Vedvid’s intellectual depth, these names bridge cinema and spirituality. As more stars like Kriti Sanon reportedly eyeing similar options, divine nomenclature is the new celebrity staple. It underscores a return to roots in an increasingly secular industry.
