Mumbai, June 17 (IBNS) Deepika Padukone's recently released Piku has not only rocked the box office, but also triggered a naming spree of their children by parents.

News is, after watching the film, parents have started naming their daughter Piku!

Deepika’s character in the film was loved by the audience so much that now they want it to become a part of their life. The actress's performance has been widely appreciated by audiences across and people have even started writing to Deepika on the same.

Anuraag Chaturvedi says that he has in fact renamed his younger Piku!

Another man Deepak Katoch says that whenever he gets married he will name his daughter after Deepika’s character in the film.

The film has resonated with the audiences very well and has created a different kind of success altogether for Deepika.

Fans have also been writing to the actress praising her much loved performance in the film!

Deepika’s characters in her previous films have also stayed with the audience with the actress delivering back to back hits in a row!

Says Deepika: "When Shoojit mentioned that people are naming their children Piku, I didn't believe him initially because it is a big decision for parents; it’s something that stays for life! Until I met some people recently who told me that they are naming their children Piku. It is really really heartening that my character has touched so many lives. We never expected this kind of reaction and I am truly humbled."
