Actor Zohaib Siddiqui Learns Haryanvi For His Role In Star Plus Show 'Imlie'

Actor Zohaib Siddiqui has recently brought a double dose of drama and entertainment with his entry in the Star Plus show Imile. He is seen playing the character of 'Dhariya', whose presence will affect Imlie and Atharva's lives. Zohaib had to learn 'Haryanvi' to play his character.

Talking about the same, Zohaib says,"The role I am playing in the show is of a Jaat, Haryanvi boy, so I had to learn Haryanvi to portray my character. I do believe that one of the most important characteristics of any character is to master its lingo and mannerism so that it sounds believable to the viewers. I wasn't that much familiar with the language, but I have a few Haryanvi friends who helped me a lot to learn this language. I interacted with them and caught the words they use in normal conversation. I started by learning words like 'Mane', 'Tane,' and 'Ke haal sae?' and many more."

Zohaib further adds,"You know, the main thing about the Haryanvi language isn't the words, but it's about the accent and dialect. It was a bit challenging initially to catch the right tonality, pronunciation and accent, but I am glad that I learnt it. I am still learning new words and enjoying the process.”

Zohaib is known for his performance in the shows 'Sadda Haq' and 'Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke'. He has also been a part of the shows like 'Suryaputra Karn', 'Karmaphal Daata Shani', 'Radha Krishna', and many more.
