Is your name Rahul? Or Simran or Pooja or Rohit or Vijay? If yes, then Virgin Atlantic will give you a discounted ticket on their plane.

This is part of Virgin Atlantic’s “Feel like a Star’ campaign in which they are offering discounted tickets to all the Rahuls, Simrans, Vijays and Poojas, and many other names inspired from Bollywood. This is their tribute to Indian cinema. And probably a great gift to a nation smitten with Bollywood.

Richie Rich Richard Branson

We can picture Virgin Atlantic chief Richard Branson saying in Amrish Puri style, “Ja Simran ja, jee le apni zindagi.” The man should perhaps get a Nobel prize or something for being the most colourful personality of the century.

The Lucky Names: Rahul, Kiran, Rohit, Sonia, Karan, Simran, Anthony, Tina, Vijay, Pooja, Arjun, Priya

The Discount: A 5% discount on Economy class tickets, and 10% on Premium Economy bookings. The offer is valid from March 18 to April 17 for travel up to July 31.

Do say: “Hi my name is Rahul. Naam toh suna hi hoga.”

Don’t say: “Prem naam hai mera, Prem Chopra.”
