Speak Urdu, but Can't Write it? LOL! - Page 3

Even if he didn't learn Urdu in school its doesn't mean that he can't learn on his own.

Hindi is the national language and is much much more widely read and written than Urdu. Why make this complicated.

not comparing Urdu to any other language...we are just saying that this show has been touted as showing the Urban Muslim culture aimed at dispelling wrong notions abt Muslims...sso it wud hv been nice to see some Urdu, which is a symbol of Muslim culture, on the show. Plz dont make it an issue of national importance! 😆

I agree with TopicMaker... If you are making a show abt a particular culture then at least do some homework...it wouldn't hv bin a prob for the audience to understand what the message read coz zoya would read it aloud any way..so the CVz could hv shown the message in Urdu script...personally I find the script of Urdu the most b'tfl of any language I hv read, it wud hv bin a real cultural experience for non-Urdu speaking ppl. I hv seen Indian soaps where they show Gujrati or Marathi families, their Invitation cards nd greetings are in their regional languages which most ppl in the audience can't read, bt it works.
P.s. I am a Muslim from Delhi and I can read nd write Urdu nd so can most Indian Muslims.

many people learn it sideways... school is not related.

I totally agree with LoveAngel21.. Urdu is recognized now.

and Asad as a character is quite religious and conservative so it was expected that he could have learned it... and why do you all forget it that its a Muslim show, Urdu is their language.

Why does it matter? This is a Hindi TV show so naturally they would show Hindi. They do the same when they're showing a Sikh family too. Btw, I don't understand why you can't write Urdu in Hindi. If it is fine when writing Urdu in English, then what is the problem with Hindi? I know many Sikhs from Pakistan who write Punjabi in Urdu. What is wrong with that?

Actually, I blame CVs.

Hello they living in India Urdu is more towards Pakistani side so in Indian schools I doubt Urdu is taught they might teach it in mosques but not in schools they teach them Hindi and in Pakistan they dnt teach Hindi its Urdu so they want know it I mean in UK until recently Urdu was only taught in private schools only recently they have began teaching it at secondary schools and again it depends on the area they are in so guys chillax and forget that concentrate on the show I mean they are speaking it so can't have everything

Agree but there's one thing I dont agree with...I think 95 % of people in India can read English cause otherwise they would have such a hard time living in India knowing everything in India is written in English except maybe some places where Hindi translations are given underneath English...
