Digangana Suryavanshi, who is currently seen in the show 'Ek Veer Ki Ardaas...Veera', may be mouthing Hindi dialogues efficiently on the show, but in real life, you might be left wondering if she is the same girl who features in the show. The actress talks English with a heavy American accent that you might feel she is not the real Digangana when you speak to her.

We asked her if she is a victim of the Foreign Accent Syndrome, which has affected many people in India since years now, she said, with her accent intact, "No, since childhood, I used to watch a lot of English TV shows and also loved the way Americans talk. I really don't know how I got the accent but I have been like this since a very long time. , and in fact, I had to show my birth certificate to a few friends when they refused to believe that I am from India and an actress. It is a funny thing but I can speak English, Hindi and Marathi very fluently. I can't help it if I have an American accent!"

So next time you call her, don't wonder if you have called the right person!

I read this. And have to say I find it really hard understanding what she is saying when she speaks in English

In one of the videos ( not sure which one) both vish and digs are talking in English and vishal was easy to understand on his Indian/English and had no idea what digs was saying

The American accent is so heavy
I'm English and can understand nearly all accents but hers is ott
