While we’re all familiar with his acting chops, not everyone knows the story behind his famous pet name. In a candid chat with Kamiya, Kartik Aaryan revealed the backstory behind his famous pet name Koki. Scroll down to find out more.
Kartik Aaryan Credits His Mom For Naming Him Koki
The adorable actor’s pet name is as aww-worthy as his charisma! But, who gave him such an adorable pet name that reflects his chiselled face? No, it is not our Editor-In-Chief who gleefully wished him, “Happy Diwali Koki!’’ at the beginning of the video.
Turns out, it’s the actor’s mother. In his words, “My mom named me Koki simply because, according to her, I just looked like one. There is actually no backstory to it.’’ Though Kartik might not know why he’s called Koki, he did point out that it’s also the name of a paratha! Not one to let her Sindhi roots go unnoticed, Kamiya chimed in, “It is a Sindhi dish!”
It is just the beginning of a delightful conversation with Kartik as the topic shifts to the actor’s Diwali celebrations. He fondly reminisced his childhood Diwali days filled with lots of mithai and quality time with friends. These cherished moments also included some firecrackers to mark the occasion.
