There’s Guddi, Guddu and then there’s Duggu. Hats off to whoever came up with that one!

Aishwarya Rai – Gullu

Being one of the most beautiful and successful women in the world, it’s hard to relate her with such a goofy nickname.

Madhuri Dixit – Bubbly

The beautiful and lively actress was called Bubbly in her childhood days. Couldn’t have been more apt.

Anushka Sharma – Nushie

Our beloved Anushka’s nickname is just a short form of her real name. Probably the sanest name of the lot.

Varun Dhawan is lovingly called Pappu by his friends. This Pappu sure can dance though.

Shahid Kapoor – Sasha

The hot and hunky actor has a rather feminine nickname for reasons we don’t know and can’t even guess.

Her family and friends called her Aalu since she was cute and chubby as a kid.

Shraddha Kapoor – Chirkoot

Her chaddi buddy Varun Dhawan gave her the nickname Chirkoot.
