I thing is, when he speaks its like he's swallowing half of stuff he's saying or you can say lack of clarity. So its hard to understand.
As for the accent, some people adapt exactly how its spoken in the region, where as some jus put lil of thier own made up accent into it.
I personally think upen has done the later one.

When Upen's mom called she had a very thick British accent as well! She doesn't know much Hindi either and Upen learned it much later in life.

People comparing him to Katrina should realize that in films she practices and they dub alittle bit at a time whereas in real life she can't even string a full sentence together. Upen's Hindi is pretty good in comparison... It's just that he still has an accent.

I quoted Katrina to highlight that atleast her diction is clear. Especially while speaking English.😊
I have grown up in France and my French will be understood by anyone who speaks/comprehends French. And I speak various other languages without eating up words in between...
And yes people around the world have accents... that is the beauty of languages but very rarely it is SO INCOMPREHENSIBLE 😆😆
But without any comparison to anyone, I would have expected Upen's English atleast was a little better. I suppose only his gujurati might be fluent.

Anyhow Upen seems to have many issues, language is the least of them 😆

No, I know thousands of people (literally) in the UK and none of them have such a peculiar accent.

Not everyone goes around speaking posh English, a lot of boys will use slang /Cockney English maybe he is overdoing it but there is nothing wrong with his account or English.
