Veera Hiranandani: Hi. My name is Veera Hiranandani. My last name is pronounced the way it's spelled, but many people see a long last name that they're not familiar with and they get overwhelmed and they say it wrong. I've heard many interesting pronunciations. But as I was growing up, I always hated the first day of school, because my teachers could never say it right, and it was embarrassing. But when I got married, I decided to keep my last name, because it actually had become such an important part of my identity. It's what makes me me.
