Really happy Ravi said Bangali and not Bengali...He said it the right way, so I am very happy with JR team very much. There are many Bangalis who get very offended when they are called Bengali instead of Bangali. We are Bangalis and we speak in Bangla.


So a request to the forum members, please lets use Bangali for the characters of Anaya's family and when talking about language lets say either Bangali or just plain Bangla.
Also clearing something out, if not yet clear to others about Neel and Dev. They are the same person. I think his name is probably Dev Sengupta Neel. Dev is first name and Neel is his nickname. For example, my first name that non-desis know me as is Lubabah and Desis or close people know me as Churri, which is my nickname.

Churri, even I'm Bengali. I don't say Bangali because it sounds weird. It's only the way people spell it that's the only difference. And there is nothing to get offended by.

Coming to name every culture people have 3 to 4 different names. Even I've got 3 names but this character can't be Neil and Dev at the same time. Either his name is only Neil or Dev. I'm sure there is some confusion with his names.

I always thought it was Bengali ...but thanks for the heads up and now since Paru said she don't get offended I hope others won't either as if I do post I might say Bengali

And his name is Neil , Dev maybe was a mix up

There is no need to be offended but I just wanted to point out the accuracy to it. I too don't get offended but still just to clarify the accurate way of saying it. I mean you don't want Gujrati or Punjabi being pronounced the wrong way or spelled wrong. That is all. I just wanted to make sure people know the proper way of saying it thats all. And I was happy Ravi said the accurate way...I did not expect him to say Bangali, I thought he would say Bangali.

The only time Bengali and Bangali are diffrentiated is when talikng about entertainment. I mean Entertainment in Kolkata is "Bengali" and Entertainment in Bangladesh "Bangali/Bangla"

Okay you and paru both have me confused as to what you both want and what we should write!!😆 So I'll just do one thing I'll not use the word only , I'll refer to them as Aanya's family😉 Apart from that this Dev-Neil confusion well it will be cleared on Monday so no need to think so much!😃

Thanks for the post though😳
