Kovid Kapoor, yes that is his real name, has decided laughter is the best medicine.
The co-founder of Holidify.com found the most amusing reactions to his name when he travelled outside India for the first time after the Covid-19 pandemic broke out.

You might wanna try check-in but not go to the boarding gate (at a non silent airport) to listen to ‘last call for kovid for flight xyz’ 😆😆

Many Indian boys are named Kovid(soft d), which means learned in Sanskrit. Kovid Kapoor also later took to Twitter to clarify his name. He tweeted, “For those on this thread, wondering what my name actually means – it means scholar / learned.
Comes in the Hanumaan Chaleesa. Also, it’s pronounced as कोविद, not कोविड.”

What’s in a name, asked Shakespeare. Kovid Kapoor surely has the answers.
