Does he ever become Samiuddin or Iftikhar or Parvez?
I was at a party last weekend. There was this lady in front of me getting food and kept handing the food to someone behind me saying “here you go Munna”. I assumed Munna was a little kid of course. So, I tried to help out by taking the plate and handing it over to the child behind me…dont want little Munna to have to fight through a line of people.
Little do I know…Munna is actually 6’4 and not such a Munna at all…he’s taking the plate from me…“no, this is for Munna”…“I AM Munna”…
A guy drove 10 hours straight to reach to his friends home. After dinner his friend was like “aaap chaie pee leen phir aap k bed “munni” k room main laga daita hoon”
this guy (thinking k munni raat main tang karey ge, roeey gi): no no ..theek hai yaar yahaan sofery per so jaoon ga koi problem nahi hai
so he slept on sofa. next morning when they were on breakfast table, a HOT young girl around 22/23 years old walks in. Host boley
Yaar aamir in sai miloo, yee hain “munni”, maireee salee
aamir goes: aur munni hum sai miloo hum hain ullu k pathey
well my granma would always call my dad as Munna ... "munnay kahan ja rahe ho" .... "munnay aagae?" etc. and for her, my mom was still "dulhan" even after 2 decades of being married.
not sure if that would necessarily lead to mama’s boy effects. I mean I’ve seen in some families its just the way things naturally work out, without any conscious effort, everyone’s given some kind of affectionate nick name and it just stays with them. Doesn’t necessarily reflect their real self. Munna and Guddu just happened to be the two most commonly given nick names in the earlier generation though Munna still seems to be “in”
Niki, my youngest Khala is called Baby. She has grown kids in their twenties and is still called Baby. She’s Baby Aunti to us…can’t picture calling her anything else, lol.
