A recent clip from Rakul Preet Singh\u2019s interview with Shubhankar Mishra has started making the rounds on social media, drawing attention to the unique story behind the actress\u2019 name.

\"Rakul<\/p>\n

Rakul Preet Singh says her name is a blend of her parents\u2019 names: \u201cCreated a combination of their love\u201d<\/p>\n

In the resurfaced snippet, Rakul explained, \u201cMy dad\u2019s name is Kulwinder and my mom\u2019s name is Rajinder. Rajinder + Kulwinder became Rakul\u2026 the first alphabets. They did this back in 1990. And if you notice, there\u2019s no one else with this name\u2014I haven\u2019t heard of another Rakul so far. So they created a combination of their love, like their daughter is the symbol of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

While many found the story sweet, social media users were quick to point out that the idea of blending parents\u2019 names to form a child\u2019s isn\u2019t new. Several netizens chimed in with examples from the entertainment industry and beyond. Some comments also focused on the terminology, with a user saying, \u201cFirst alphabets nai baba, first letters! Kyun kisi ko dono ka difference nai pata!\u201d<\/p>\n

Others referenced how common the practice already was in the 90s. \u201cRaveena was already in news then & we knew her name was a mix of her dad\u2019s and mom\u2019s names\u2014Ravi + Veena. So many people planned their kids’ names like this.\u201d Another pointed out, \u201cAmisha Patel and Ashmit Patel\u2014Amit and Asha Patel.\u201d Another user added, \u201cGenelia is also a name combination of her parents\u2019 names.\u201d And in true internet fashion, someone joked, \u201cKurla is also an option.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the light teasing, the clip has renewed interest in Rakul\u2019s personal anecdotes as she continues her busy year in films. The actress is currently seen in De De Pyaar De 2, her second release of 2025 after Mere Husband Ki Biwi, which came out in February. Ahead, she has an ambitious slate with Nitesh Tiwari\u2019s two-part Ramayana, where she will be playing Surpanakha, and Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, co-starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi.<\/p>\n
