I had heard him speak good Hindi when he came out with his album and also on the show his Hindi doesn't have any accent. He is been in Mumbai for long.

When someone stresses on something it just means that he is faking. After every sentence he just forces 'howz my Hindi', 'Like my Hindi','My Hindi..........this that'..

Are we watching a Hindi channel? I have never heard any American saying how is my English?

maya, i had made exactly the same post about his hindi becoz of this. i remember he was in news all the time for dil to pagal hai and his some kind of album was released back then, so i do remember that he spoke good hindi, so what happened to him all of a sudden? is JDJ an english show? i dont get it, when a person doesnt know hindi it becomes obvious but in his case, he is stressing on his hindi all the time? why?

I do not think it's only 4 years since he is in mumbai..'cos his dance academy is there for more than13 years....herez what i got from wikepedia.....

Shiamak established his own school of dancing in 1992, Shiamak Davar Institute for the Performing Arts (SDIPA), which is very famous in India and is responsible for bringing out some of the best talents in the country. Originally with two centres in Mumbai, today there are branches in all the major Indian cities, including Delhi, Bangalore, Pune,Chandigarh, Goa, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow. He has also established schools in Toronto and Vancouver, Canada.

hey lets not make shiamak's hindi a big deal...there r many p'ple who have been living in India for years n yet they find speaking hindi difficult...so as long as the contestants n the audience understand what he says i dont think it should be any problem.

hahahaha......great SOH.......😆😆😆

The reason is here they don't consider it a national pride for an Americans to speak English....😉...it's a given!!!

But In india, the Indians are very proud if we can speak our National language properly......😆
