Vir Das fan names his son after him, comedian drops a witty response

For the unversed, on Friday evening, Vir Das shared a screenshot of an email he received from a fan. The snip read, “Subject: I named my son after you. Message: Hi Vir Das. I want you to know that I named my son after you almost 8 years back. Not only cause we loved your comedy but majorly the numerology of your name means that you have the capacity to achieve success beyond your imagination, even the sky is small in front of the name. Wishing you all the best for every thing in life. You are very close to our heart. Fun fact my son wants to be a comedian without even knowing who he is named after. Lots of love and best wishes.”
