Had known a guy, junior in college for some time now, around 10 months now, is a Mehta. Came to know that he is a Hariyanvi from around Sirsa. Weird, I thought Mehtas were supposed to be only Gujaratis. Anyways :)
I had never met non-Gujarati Mehtas before. I do not consider Kumar to be a surname :) Anand is universal, But Rao only in AP, Karnataka and Maharahstra
I thought Mehtas are from all over the North... (Hindi belt).
ReplyDeleteKumar, Anand and Rao are also very common all over India, Kerala to Punjab and UP.
