Sarah Jane "I Can Speak Hindi"


Now this is something interesting - Sarah Jane Dias is telling people that although English is her first language but she can converse in Hindi. She said she even took diction classes for her debut film "Game".

Well, I believe she loves to talk and you can see how she goes on about the languages she knows:

"See, I have studied Hindi all my life; it has been a subject during my school days. However since I speak English so confidently, many people tend to think that it is the only language that I am comfortable with. Yes, I had moved to Muscat when I was quite young and came back to India for my college days. However the fact remains that I am inherently a Mumbai girl"

While her diction classes are continuing till date, it was during the preparation for her part in 'Game' that she had Shabana Azmi as a mentor for some instant results.

"Yes, she was a great help with the language and that further made me confident that I could deliver the goods", smiles Sarah, "I try speaking to people as much as possible in Hindi and ask them to correct me wherever I go wrong. In fact now that I am a part of the industry, I don't wish anything that is not as per perfection."

There is something about her that I am not liking much ... even in the promos of her movie...all we noticed were the red heels...she was that impressive you see. As it is it is working in a Hindi movies requires someone to know the language at least. I can't really get how Katrina Kaif still can't get Hindi words and she has been in Hindi cinema fraternity for quite sometime. These girls need to go beyond languages now.
