We have such people and then we mock Katrina for her lack of Hindi skills!

Well check out Aish's fake English accent and you'll comprehend my initial analogy...😛

She must have cried in English when she was born.

Yes! It's really weird. I don't care what language they speak at home but it's really strange when they answer in English when the interviewer asks in Hindi.I remember when that guy who played the role of villain in kajol starrer dushman(forgot his name) and won the best villain award in filmfare,he gave his speech in Hindi and the whole film industry present there was laughing at him.That was ridiculous. If u feel so ashamed to speak or listen to Hindi then why work in Hindi films?

I don't think there is anything wrong or dumb in saying English is her first language.

I was born and brought up in India. I speak three Indian languages fluently - Konkani, Hindi, Marathi. I understand Gujarati, but have to reply in Hindi.

Yet if someone asks me what is my first language, I would say English. It is not because I am ashamed of any of the other languages. It is simply because it is a fact. I was raised with English. My parents formally taught me ABCs. My children's books were all English. I can not only speak English fluently, but I can read and write English with ease.

On the other hand I didn't start learning my K, Kh, Gs till third or fourth standard when they start teaching it in school. My spelling and grammar was always atrocious. I barely passed those subjects and even flunked Hindi once. I struggle to read a children's Chandamama in Hindi or Marathi. To write in Hindi or Marathi is an even bigger ordeal.

I cannot claim any of my Indian languages to be my first language because neither are they my first nor are they my strongest. You say English is a second language usually if English is not your preferred mode of communication. There are a gazillion dumb thing Sonam says, this is nowhere close to being dumb at all. If it is, then I guess I received a newsflash today - I'm dumb for saying English is my first language. I'd guess almost all my peers who received the typical Bombay Catholic school upbringing will fall in the dumb category.

how do u cry in english 😆

The name Sonumb Kapoor 🤣 🤣 🤣

i dont know whats so bad about it i'd take sonam's english over fake accented aishwarya's english. Sonam gets bashed more than she deserves in this forum. Most filmstars reply in english they are used to of speaking in english from early age.

As pretentious as ever!
