Back in April 2021, an irate Ira shared a video of herself teaching the paparazzi on how to correctly pronounce her name. “Ira. Eye-ra. Nothing else..,” she wrote then, and also used the hashtags, ‘enough is enough’ and ‘swear jar’.
In the clip, Ira revealed that her friends were teasing her about the mispronunciation. She explained how her name should be pronounced. She added that anyone who mispronounces would have to put Rs 5000 in a swear jar which she would donate at the end of every month or year.
