I wonder why they change accents just by living for few years lol.Madhuri talks with American accent now and sorry to say,just by POV very annoying.I think its more like blending in when you go to a new place

Khanak pronounces 's' correct sometimes.The episode where she comes and asks Shan for a English lesson,she says 'pleej' and then says 'fees' correctly.It should have been 'feej' right!

Chori chori seq main when she sees Shaan on the balcony the first time,she talks perfect like 'factory','phone' etc.But ab tho 'phactory' and 'pone'.Really hope she does at least speak few words correctly.She even reverted back to 'thankoo':(

Shanaksansar-In the UK its always 'our' for the words where as in US its 'or' I guess!!My browser tho shows a red line if I type 'our' for colour and doesn't if I type 'or' as in color.

Accents and pronunciations will always be different and there is no RIGHT or WRONG here. As we all know it continues to evolve based on external/ internal regional influences.

In America we do use the word "Anyways" nothing wrong or right that is the usual lingo. I still remember when I initially came here what blunders I committed. Went to McDonalds and asked for tomato sauce for my fries and the confused attendant then told me it's called KETCHUP...lol!

Now my kids correct me since there are subtle differences in what we were used to back home and here. I guess.

@Manita - you are right most folks now use "color" instead of "colour" but I remember when I sent in a proposal to one of the sales guys in UK...he backlashed me for that...Bristish sentiments...too bad he was fired the very next day...of course for other reasons

But yes would still love to have PATHSHALA scenes😉

I understand the variation of accents and we have discussed this through the topic too😊...I agree there is no right or wrong...I guess I was just surprised by the Shaan saying 'azzummed'😆...
Regarding the man who was rude to you, I don't know about British sentiments😳...But it shows he is ignorant of the fact that, written English is different in many countries😊...

When you get accustomed to hearing a certain accent, your own speak does change slightly Smitha😊...I also mentioned your point about Khanak's inconsistancy with the words she already knows...
The language setting of on MS Word opened my eyes to how many different variations of written English there can be...I knew of some before, but i didn't realise there were so many😆...

british english n american english..let them be as it is..

but khanak needs a english teacher for sure..
after learning to say thank u properly she still says thanku..n y is she not able to pronounce sa properly instead always say 'sha'..
for sasha she said sasa..
for mrs she always say mishrs..kyun..
aisa be koi pronunciation pbm hai kya?

I agree Ramani...The written form and Shaan's accent aside...I want Khanak's pronounciation corrected...

Thank you May
I was also confused with the 'azzumed' lol! But it seems like he has the American accent...always thought he had the hinglish one!
Anyways...Shaan can wait for now he already knows the basics of English.
It is khanak who needs the classes and like you I'm being waiting for ages for the paathshala to start.
@Vatty
NO shaan as the masterji! Pleaseee! It will end up into a different story altogther...What about Khanak starting school or private schooling will do to.

btw don't think KT lived abroad or in America. He is a total Bombaiyaa guy.

Studied in Arya Vidya Mandir (sister school to Aishwarya's all girls school). In B'bay there are folks who speak English with a clipped accent too. Then of course we are influenced by music and tv shows from abroad and unknowingly we start speaking the same lingo as well. He may be slightly more westernized tho is liye the different accent. But must say his Hindi is typical North Indian style and his huskiness is TO DIE FOR.
