We’ve all known someone who employs RAW-like secrecy when it comes to their daak naam. Italian-Bengali couple Aam and Basil, known for finding humour in the dissonance between their two cultures, posted a hilarious reel where the Italian wife undertakes a microscopic probe into her Bengali husband’s ‘boring nickname.’ Basil proceeds to regale Aam with all the unique nicknames she’s heard in Kolkata, ranging from Laltu to Tumpa, and even Puchka! The best part? Basil’s adorable pronunciation, which perfectly captures an annoyed mom calling out to her embarrassed son!
What’s your daak naam?
