Oh wow Neerja dat's so impressive! 👏👏👏
My mom knows Urdu and in fact wld read urdu novels, nd the thing is dat I can read Urdu and speaking I can do coz it's so much similar to Hindi. It's just tht some words just bounce off my head.
Also my mother tongue is gujarati, bit we hv a distinct language too, which is actually a mixture of gujarati, urdu and Arabic and though in our day to day life we don't converse in dat, but whn it comes to formal occasions we do and in fact after watching plays on Zindagi, I hv started to underatnd so many words tht r used.😆😆
