When Prince Kapoor received his much-awaited degree certificate from the Delhi University on Saturday, he was in for a surprise. While the university had named him correctly in English, in Hindi he had been anointed Rajkumar Kapoor.
“I got my certificate, and when I looked at it, I was surprised to see my name. They seem to have translated my name from English to Hindi. So ‘Prince’ became ‘Rajkumar’,” said the 25 year old who had graduated from a BCom programme at the School of Open Learning in 2015.
The degree certificate was a major milestone for Prince, who had enrolled in the course in 2010 and had taken five years to complete it.
“I don’t understand how it could have happened. You don’t translate names. I don’t know what to do now,” said Harvinder Kapoor, Prince’s father.
