He isn't wrong but pretty sure most of the actors who have debuted after 2015 can't read or speak Devnagari properly which is kind of a shame when you are working in Hindi film industry.

I get where he is coming from but Bollywood is a melting pot of artists from different parts of India. You'll have a local mumbaiker as an assistant, then a North Indian director from Hindi speaking belt, actors from South who are well versed in telugu, malayalam rather than hindi. English becomes a common language for communicating. There's no other way around it.


Actors like Nawaz who work better when communicated in their vernacular should be accomodated as well. But that doesn't mean you'd impose your language on actors who are not comfortable with the language.

they make urdu/hindustani language movies than they make hindi movies.How many times do they say stree and not aurat?how many times do they say anumati and not marzi?how many times do they say mitrata?I can't even remember a movie where I heard words like mitrata,stree,anumati,hriday(and not dil).


Nawaz too is probably asking for an urdu or hindustani movie industry here,not hindi.

His vernacular is Hindi ..the language in which a BW movie is supposed to be made. 😊 so it's not about others accommodating him..it's about people like him who r comfortable with Hindi accommodating others who aren't.

Apparently no one noticed "well on that note" by the anchor 😳

Bechare nawaz ne english hindi ko leke apni saari feelings nikal ke rakh di magar madam ko koi fark nahi pada. Wo fir bhi English me hi chalu ho gayi. As if she wasn't even listening to what he was saying 😆

Problem with what you're saying is:


1. When the director and the producer are comfortable in English, that's how communications will happen.


2. His suggestions will make it near impossible for non Hindi speakers to work in Bollywood. If he wants to go that route, sure. But do you really think Bollywood would've been better off without all the non Hindi actors and technical experts of the past years?


Sorry. I find this notion the same as the complaint from American rednecks who go to Mexican restaurants in New York and complain about Spanish speaking waitstaff.

Hriday se ek gaana yaad aaya..koi jab tumhara Hriday tod de..it has some more pure hindi words like Darpan, priye, roop etc. But also generous usage of Hindi.


One classic hindi gem is this

If u read my earlier post that's what I said..it's difficult to implement what he says coz BW is a melting pot of different cultures.

That's why the word bollywood has stuck with it and not Hindi movie industry. It isn't region specific.


Though I always wonder about the 'bolly' in bollywood..where that comes from

This song of Kishore I'm listening for the first time... But it's quite nice. 👍

One more song of Mukesh that had quite a lot of pure Hindi words, though not as many as koi jab tumhara hriday, was - chandan sa badan chanchal chitvan. Though it has a few urdu words too i guess....

They had to keep some name similar to Hollywood so they took bombay and coupled it with hollywood to produce bollywood.
