“My name is Kovid and I’m not a virus.”
This joke never gets old for this man whose OG name is Kovid Kapoor. I kid you not!
At a time when coronavirus aka COVID with a ‘C’ is wreaking havoc in our lives, this man is gaining social media followers by telling people the funny name-related incidents he faced because of his now-popular name.
Just listening to his name might have cracked you up. Well, when he went outside India for the first time since COVID, people were ROFL on listening to his name.
Went outside India for the first time since COVID and got a bunch of people amused by my name. 😂
Future foreign trips are going to be fun!

And ever since such covid-related jokes made him feel like a ‘mini celebrity’, Kapoor decided to share more of them and cheer us up during these testing times.
So! Since the last thread got sooo viral – and I feel like a mini-celeb now – thought I'll share a bunch of funny names related incidents.

On his 30th birthday cake, the bakery assumed that it was kind of a joke and automatically penned ‘Happy Birthday Covid 30’ on his cake.
For my 30th bday, my friends ordered a cake – and Amintiri automatically assumed that it’s some kinda joke, and it should be spelled with a C not a K. 🎂 pic.twitter.com/3jrySteSbC

Let’s not forget the ‘Corona Beer’ that was also under attack last year. And when Corona and Kovid get together it got to be punny.

This incident involves the employees at Starbucks.
At Starbucks, the guy handing me the coffee pointed out the name to everyone else and they burst out laughing – I mostly use a fake name now. ☕️ pic.twitter.com/79STYv2uG6

Well, Google Search wasn’t behind in mocking Kapoor. Even it wasn’t sure if that’s a real name.
When Google though that I misspelled my name, in my own Gmail search 👨💻 pic.twitter.com/sNtZs3GmUb

Such a unique name has to become the butt of jokes like these.
Oh here we go!
Can't find the Twitter link, though! pic.twitter.com/xWOXvaZ1qx— Kovid Kapoor (@kovidkapoor) January 6, 2022
Kovid responsible for happy tears.
A Zoomcar customer care guy called me, to process some pending refund, and told me that he had been laughing in the room with the other customer care folks before the call. 😂

Well, if you are in the right mind (after all the laughter) and wondering what his name actually means then this is it:
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 😅

Obviously, people won’t believe that’s his real name in one go. So thank God for the PAN card.
I’m quite used to really enunciate my name, stressing that it’s a soft D and not a hard D. And to quickly whip out my PAN card from my wallet, just to prove that it REALLY is my name. 😂

Oh, in all the song and dance, we forgot to tell you that Kovid is the co-founder of the tourism company Holidify.com. Irony dekh rahey ho?
Kapoor is indeed a true sport and like us, many were happy to LOL at the expense of COVID with a ‘K’.
U r the only one who cud proudly say 2020, 2021 were your year :’)
