Akshar to Axar is still so much acceptable. My name was and is butchered so much even by Indians. On one occasion when I paid my fees in my college, the receipt showed my name as Bharat Watch… imagine if this was on any of my official documents.
I think Aakash Chopra started as Akash Chopra, and he officially changed his name because, numerologically, Aakash was a better name and would help him play better.
@@hariprasadhparthasarathy6360Still it got him a commentator job, who knows how bad it would have been with the old name and that much talent to bank upon? 😂😂😂😂
Sportpersons in India do this more often because they generally used to lower down their age to play age group cricket. So when he went to get a passport, the school would have given a new certificate instead forging old documents that are needed for passport.
English orthography is bad at depicting Indian words anyway. It's an absolute mess over here. I wish the British made a standard transliteration system for Indian languages while they were here.

Bro this is the funniest shit I ever heard
you yourself have misspelled it in your yt handle
@@SamosaJii dude. That’s how my name is… there are different ways to spell my name and wary from region to region
Awesome 😂
Be thankful the d and w never met each other in your name. 😂
Damn. X marks the Akshar.
I think when he played in PBKS (KXIP previously) his name was Akshar in his first season
Nah. It was akshar for MI
His debut season he was with MI so did kulcha
The fact that Jarrod can differentiate between pronouncing both the names in itself is marvelous
Had a friend who was named "dawn" and while in school they messed it up to "Don" 😎
Oh man my name is Akshay and when I had gone to Gujarat once, the travel agent wrote my name as Axay 😂
U shud be grateful they didn't wrote it xray😂😂
My friend's name is Nagalakshmi, but her teacher wrote it Nagalaxmi, and that name stuck 😂
As someone named Hrushikesh which can be spelled many different ways, I can say this is very believable story😄

It just made him into a bigger idiot
But it didn't help

In Gujarat state they usually pronounce Akshar as Axar. Can't blame the principal here.
No I will blame the principal, he had one job😭😭
Lakshmi -> Laxmi is however very common and the standard spelling nowadays.

What’s VVS Laxman’s excuse
Axar in Gujurati is phonetically sounded as
"Aksar"..hence it matches eirh "Akshar"
Same letter in Indian alphabets is pronounced as 'ksha', 'khya', 'xa' and even as 'kha'(Bengali).
I find it quite interesting that Jarrod is following Breakfast with champions hosted by GK aka Gaurav Kapoor and that's where he told this story
I like axar. A lot more memorable
In Gujarati Language we have four "S" i.e S, Sh, X, ksh.. So Axar name is as per the Gujarati language.
You pronounce it that way...but it is written as sh
It's VVS Laxman and no one bats as eyelid. Why is it peculiar for Axar? I have never pondered upon this question!
same as dikshit and dixit, both are pronounced the same, but are different

You didn't need the British to do that. Indians could have done it by themselves.
Please go to Gujarat. Ask anyone to pronounce Akshar, you'll know. Heights of intelligence is asking a foreigner and then agreeing to it.
Typical indian administration
Get it corrected by government gazette...
