Raakhee Mirchandani: Hey there. My name is Raakhee Mirchandani, and, when I was younger, I would say Rocky like the movie, or Rocky like Rocky and Bullwinkle, or Rocky like Rocky Raccoon, the Beatles songs. Now, sometimes people say Rocky, like the PAW Patrol character.
But I'm named after none of those things. I am Raakhee, named after a holiday in India called Rakshabandhan, which celebrates the bond between a brother and a sister, and my name, Raakhee, means a bond of protection.
