Mumbai, Nov 9: Television actors Divyanka Tripathi and Vivek Dahiya have finally revealed the names of their twin sons, born in May this year. The couple have named their boys Daivik and Vaidvik, ending months of curiosity among fans who knew the babies only as T1 and T2.
The names were revealed on Saturday during an episode of the reality show Pati, Patni Aur Panga 2, hosted by Munawar Faruqui and Sonali Bendre.
Recalling how the twins acquired their temporary identities, Vivek said their prams had been labelled 'Twin 1' and 'Twin 2' when they were born. As doctors frequently asked which baby was Twin 1 and which was Twin 2, he suggested calling them T1 and T2. The family liked the names, and after the couple mentioned them in a vlog, the labels became popular among relatives and even during shopping trips.
Divyanka said people had repeatedly asked why they had not revealed the babies' actual names. She added that the couple had already chosen names and felt it was finally time to share them with the world. She then unveiled a card displaying the names Daivik and Vaidvik.
The couple also shared a YouTube vlog in which they revealed the names to their extended family through a treasure hunt. Family members were asked to find individual letters before putting the names together.
Explaining the meaning behind the names, Divyanka said Daivik means 'godly' or someone who is God-loving. She described the first-born as calm and cheerful, adding that he was always smiling.
Vivek said Daivik's personality resembled Divyanka's, describing him as positive, calm and easy to please. Although the baby looks like his mother, Divyanka said he was particularly fond of his father.
The couple described Vaidvik as innocent and observant. They explained that the name signifies someone who can heal himself quickly and bring healing to others through his presence.
Vivek and Divyanka said Vaidvik displayed considerable strength even as a newborn. He reportedly held their fingers tightly from the age of three or four days and would not let go. They added that he had been the weaker of the two babies initially, which also influenced their choice of name.
Divyanka Tripathi and Vivek Dahiya got married in 2016 and welcomed their twin boys nearly a decade later.
