"Confuje ho gaye? Main PK nahin hun. Mera naam hai Jagat Janini. Haan Jagat Janini," announces Anushka Sharma in the recently released motion poster of PK. "What's in a name?" William Shakespeare had asked - a great deal of thought, is what a Bollywood script writer would have confidently told him. To show as evidence, there are scads of movie character names that are unusual and unforgettable, just like Anushka/Jagat Janini in PK.
While the two Khans, namely Salman and Shah Rukh, have built their careers on the fairly common monikers Prem and Rahul, other actors have played characters who stuck by sheer dint of their names.
No matter how endearing these names are on-screen, remember if you give one these names to your child, you'll never be forgiven - just saying. The brilliant brains behind these deserve a loud round of applause.
