Arbaaz gives Malaika guru gyaan - article

Seekho hindi ka funda: Malaika Arora-Khan and Arbaaz Khan

But ever since the show went on air, we've seen a marked improvement in the sexy dancer's diction and turn of phrase. And she's got no one else but hubby Arbaaz to thank for doubling up as her Hindi teacher.

She's trying!

A source from the show reveals, "He has taught her five Hindi lines to use on the show. He is a big fan of Nach Baliye 2 and keeps giving her tips to improve her Hindi diction. During the first season, it didn't matter much, but this time around he was keen on her speaking Hindi more fluently."

Confirming this, Arbaaz says, "It's true. I did give her some easy lines to remember." Talking about his wife's Hindi diction, he says, "She isn't fluent in the language, but she's definitely trying. Because of her family and modelling background, Malaika is more comfortable with English."

Sharing anecdotes

Khan says that since the other two judges — Saroj Khan and Kunal Kohli — converse in Hindi, it's important for Malaika to be able to speak the same language. "I admire the fact that she's attempting to speak as much Hindi as possible. There are a couple of easy lines that I have told her which can be used in every situation."

When asked what he thinks of the show's second season, Arbaaz says, "It's very entertaining. In fact, it's more competitive than the first. Malaika is enjoying her experience on the show and even shares anecdotes when she returns home."

Interestingly, in tonight's episode, Malaika and Saroj Khan are so impressed with Yash Tonkk's performance on the One Love track that they leave their seats and join him in the act!
