If B-town actors like Katrina and others can pass not knowing hindi that well, I am pretty sure a chef can because as an actor they have to shoot for movies and as chef perhaps 1 hr episodes.

Well B-town actresses gets dubbing actresses to dub their dialogues for them.. Many South Indian actresses who cant speak Hindi initially used to get their dialogues dubbed by another actress e.g. I read somewhere that Rekha used to dub for Sridevi and Jaya Prada.. but here I don't think that is possible.
I am not saying that Hindi will be a problem for Nikita for sure.. but you never know.

In the beginning, when they were "auditioning" the contestants, they asked Karishma about her accent. She said she picked it up because she deals with so many international clients/people through her job who have accents. :-P I personally feel it is very pretentious and that she consciously developed an accent to sound more like Western/international and less Indian maybe for some sort of imagined advantage in her professional world (maybe projecting an NRI-type image). I have cousins who live in India and did exactly that (developed a strange type of accent) to sound more American, and they sound equally ridiculous.🤢



I hate it when people do that. I have grown up in the US and can speak hindi better than her. I swear most Indian Americans do not have weird accents like that when they speak hindi. What the heck is the point of losing your identity and acting like something you're not?!?!

Nikita is far better at speaking any languages than Karishma. at least nikita does not fake her accent and pretend she has never made such a dish before

As an NRI, I can relate as my hindi isn't also good. But at least Nikita's accent is real unlike Karishma who seems to put pressure on her accents. I feel that during auditions she may have made up the statement about her accent.
