Richa Chadha interview - Page 7

Moreover, I have lived in Kerala for many years and have interacted with lots of friendly chetas and chechis for various chores. Now I guess that should make me a native Malayalam speaker, when fact is I only know a few words/phrases of the language and am not fluent in it.

This is getting hilarious now. If a South Indian grows up in Mumbai (including major part of schooling, college and work ), he/she would become a Mumbaikar eventually..having the identity cards/voter cards of that city and it's no big deal if they are fluent in that language. It comes naturally, doesn't matter if your roots do not belong to Mumbai...😆

I like Jaya B. Native tongue -Bengali . And loved how she went after Shiv Sena and defended the usage of Hindi as she and others work in the industry. Would love her unapologetic views on this.😊

Lol...Malayalam and Hindi are both different. Mallu is spoken only in Kerala, whereas Hindi is spoken elsewhere...I am from city near Hyderabad, even I can speak Hindi. Hindi is universal language in India, except tamilnadu everyone speaks atleast basic Hindi..whereas not many speaks mallu language

As you lived in Kerala, I lived in China for 6 years and I speak Mandarin...but I would never agree being a native speaker and If I do a film in Chinese, I would definitely modulate as native though

And what is the big deal about it? Many people can speak 2-3 languages.

thanks for sharing the Interview

Asin should definitely be recognised for taking the initiative to learn every language of the film she worked in. Be it Telugu, Tamil or Hindi. Btw she is a malayali. Last I heard she knows 8 languages. And she dubs for every single film of hers. She is da bomb seriously👏 Ash speaking bengali now doesnt seem like a great achievement 😆
