Gujarati accent troubles Preeti Desai
By: Agencies Date: 2011-04-20 Place: Mumbai

London-based model-actress Preeti Desai, who is making her Bollywood debut with "Shor In The City", says she is more troubled by her Gujarati accent rather than her British one.




"As soon as I came to India, I started working on my Hindi. I can speak Hindi, but with an accent - not so much of an English accent, but more of a Gujarati accent," said Preeti.

She is now taking lessons to improve her chances of getting work in the Hindi film industry.

"I'm taking diction lessons and trying to brush up my Hindi," she said.

"Shor In The City" will release April 29.

i don't understand the whole point of casting non-Hindi speakers in Bollywood 😕

so first you waste your time in teaching a language they ought to know before entering the industry and then waste some more time (and perhaps money too) in teaching them how to act
