When she uses English words,she tries to put on an american fale accent...like vaast 😆

As an Indian living in USA for the past ten years I can say the 'V' words are where we get screwed the most. Its not a fake accent thing.

Indians use a hard 'V' its almost a 'W'. Have an Indian say water and vase. The v in vase is almost as hard as the w in water. As Indians we have the ear to distinguish the sounds.

In USA 'v' is much softer. The western ear cannot distinguish between our V and W sounds. People give me a hard time when I say veggie because it sounds like wedgie to them. So Indians tend to get very conscientious of V words and other common audiophile & accent issues. The net result can be a very awkward and fake sounding pronunciation that is neither here or there .

Edit to add: Wanna really watch the most fake pretentious accent? Aishwariya Rai's US interviews with Oprah et al.

Can you say that in English please?

Just picking on you, no harm intended. 😊 I think netspeak is killing English faster than Ebonics ever could. Now even black people complain that netspeak is killing ebonics too. Oh the irony. 😆

How is her accent fake? She gets a bit of an "Amreeki" accent coz she's been living there for over 5 years.. and when that accent gets mixed up with her Indian accent, it ends up sounding weird.. when she speaks some specific words.. It happens.. she's been living there for quite long and her kids must speak some hardcore accent bhari english.. 😆 So, while talking to them, you tend to pick up some accent.. And please, Madhuri is the last person whom I'll accuse of being fake or a wannabee! 😆

I dont think its fake....

yeah, not only her kids, even her husband has a heavy american accent (anyone recall the kbc season 1 episode, where madz and sachin tendulkar participated...she used 'phone a friend' to call him, and he had a heavy accent...and she had to ask big b to speak in english as ram didn't know hindi)

i wouldn't call it fake, even though to some it may seem like that..she has been living there for over 6-7 years and when she speaks with her husband and her kids, who have an american accent, it's bound to alter the way she pronounces some words or sentences...i've lived in US for a while, and many people i meet speak like that, where some words are pronounced in an american accent, with influences of the speaker's native tongue...

Its mainly because she has been living in USA for a while now! so change would be there no matter how long you have stay in india or usa

using myself as an example i am born in india but grew up in philippines then when is was 15 we moved here in canada... my accent is totally different its like 3 in one!

-- and i just talk normal... some words would sound in filipino accent some in indian and others canadian.... its weird

join the club shivanggi...studied in a british school in india for sometime, so i had a part british, part indian accent, and then have lived in US for 7 years...i call my accent a cocktail one - british, indian and american, or a melange, if i wanna get fancy schmancy 😆

The word Fake disgusts me .. Because I donno what is Genuine 🤣

Madhuri defines Genuineness.. 😃

i love madhuri....she is just brilliant she is the first actress whose movie i ad watched in theatre and ultimately she became my fav actress...btw madhuri have been living in the states for the past 10 or 11 yrs so tht affects a person's accent to a great extent i suppose
