Wait, Sohail Khan Almost Named His Son ‘Ram Khan’?

  • Why Sohail Khan chose the name Nirvan
  • A sweet look back at his past with Seema
  • The story behind the name

We just saw Sohail Khan sharing a secret about his family that completely stopped us in our tracks. He opened up about the days when he and Seema Sajdeh were picking a name for their firstborn.

The name he really wanted? Ram Khan. Imagine that. It has a powerful, classic vibe that feels totally different from the cool, modern aesthetic of the name they finally picked, Nirvan.

It is always so fascinating to hear how these big decisions happen behind closed doors. Names carry so much weight, don’t they? They set the tone for a whole life.

Our Take

We love that he shared this. It feels real and human. It’s also proof that sometimes the best names are the ones that finally just stick.
