I'm uncomfortable talking in English: Akshay Kumar
https://hinvi.com/uploads/images/14664-Akshay-Kumar.jpg
New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS) Unlike other Bollywood celebrities, who prefer to converse in English, Bollywood's desi boy Akshay Kumar says he is more confortable talking in Hindi.

'After all, we're Hindi film stars. We earn our bread and butter from Bollywood. I'm uncomfortable talking in English..I've always been,' Akshay said in a statement.

'I've realized my fans love the dialogues I say on screen. And those are in Hindi. Why speak in a language your are not comfortable with? After all success is about being comfortable in your own skin and I'm finally doing that,' he added.

The actor, who is now gearing up for the release of his new film 'Desi Boyz' with John Abraham, calls himself 'desi' and says he is proud of his roots.

'I'm proud to be desi. I'm a desi boy from Delhi and I'm very proud of who I am and I am proud of my roots. My fans love me for being humble and hard working. They love me for speaking to them in their language; they connect with me because I remind them of their roots,' he said.

After all those bad comedies I was wondering why I still like him - his honesty and he appears so down to earth.

Hope Desi Boyz goes well for him.

I appreciate Akshay's honesty. Clearly he is more comfortable in Hindi as opposed to Enlgish and that's perfectly fine. I detest ppl that take the mick out of others who struggle with the english language. It's a complx thing and nothing else...

He is telling a frank truth.
The other frank truth is, no matter what language he uses, he does not have anything important to say.

I personally love bollywood stars talking in Hindi, the english just makes them seem like wanna-bees and the last time I checked India's national language was Hindi NOT english.
Good for Akki!!! Being in the U.S. I rather speak and hear hindi from a Hindi Film Actor, it makes me feel more homely.
