Kovid Kapoor goes viral because of his name

Mr Kovid Kapoor, co-founder of Holidify, had to change his Twitter bio to "My name is Kovid and I'm not a virus – recently. Detailing his experience of traveling abroad in a Twitter thread that has gone viral on the microblogging platform, he said that he had gone outside India for the first time since COVID and got people amused by my name.
According to Mr Kapoor, his name actually means "scholar" or someone who is learned, and comes from the Hanuman Chaleesa. Unlike the highly-infectious disease that has upended lives across the world, "Kovid" is actually pronounced with a soft "d". Infact, his tweet has gone viral with over 30,000 'likes' and a ton of amused comments. Kapoor says, there have been a number of funny micro-interactions, with Amazon delivery guys, with electricians, at airport security, at hotel check-ins, etc. However, he says has just decided to take it all in good humor and make some lemonade out of a sour lemon life threw at him
