Sharing the story behind his name, the actor mentioned, “When I was in school, people would find my name extremely long. And I am today telling everyone, that my name is–Raghuvendra Sharda. But since many people thought it was too lengthy, they would often address me as–Sharda. I felt like it was a girl’s name and would not like people calling me Sharda. But my pet name at home was Kiku, so I preferred using that.”

The actor also talked about an interesting detail behind his name, and said, “When I was in college, people would often ask me the meaning behind Kiku. So, what I did is that I built a fake story for time pass, and told them that my name is too long, so I use Kiku as a short form. While narrating this explanation he would tell them that his real name is Kashiram Ishwarlal Keshavpant Upadhya.” Well, that is quite a hilarious fake meaning Kiku.
