After Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie became Brangelina, Bollywood’s answer was ‘Saifeena’ wherein Saif Ali Khan’s and Kareena Kapoor’s initials were paired simply because it rhymed and because it was the new trend. Since then, every new couple that comes out declaring their relationship statuses are bestowed a short, catchy and headline-friendly nickname.
The latest to join the league of couple nicknaming is Indian TV celeb couple – Sanaya Irani and Mohit Sehgal aka Monaya. The two have recently tied a knot at an elaborate beach wedding in Goa.
Although, not every celeb couple can be a Brangelina, however, check out some other famous (or not so) portmanteaus in the story.
Monaya
It was Jan 25 when Sanaya Irani hitched to long-time beau and co-actor from the show ‘Miley Jab Hum Tum’ - Mohit Sehgal in Goa. Although, Mohit is a couple of years younger to Sanaya but that has never been an issue. Their fans call them Monaya. We wish the newly-weds a great life ahead.
Saifeena
The most-often used celebrity portmanteau out there is Saifeena. After the famous nicknaming of Brangelina, it didn't take long for this one to catch on with their new name as well. In fact, the couple was given the name even before they went public about their marriage.
