Bombay Bol: Gino Banks, explains

Gino Banks

Praapt

Meaning: It's a Hindi word that means 'to achieve'. Anyone who comes to Mumbai wants to make it big in whatever field they are in. It applies to people just out of college or those who are venturing into a new line of work. It also applies to people in the entertainment industry, such as musicians, actors and aspiring models. A sentence, for example, can be, "Mumbai mein aake apna sapna praapt ho gaya." The oddness is how this shuddh Hindi term finds its way into sentences that are a bhelpuri of grammar.
