Nargis Fakhri is going through a phase that Katrina Kaif went through 10 years back.
There is a rumour in Bollywood that Nargis often sits on a film’s script for weeks before she is finally able to make up her mind.
Nargis finally reveals that she takes time to ‘understand Bollywood film scripts’ because of her limited understanding of Hindi.
“I take a long time to read a film’s script and understand it. In fact, I take the longest to understand the dialogues. It is because I don’t have sufficient knowledge of Hindi,” she says.
Her limited knowledge of the subject means that she faces roadblocks while acting too. “I can’t improvise on the sets or do anything impromptu (in front of the camera) because there are times when don’t understand what I am saying,” admits the actress candidly.
The actress hastens to add that she is trying her best to get over this language barrier. “I don’t give up easily and I am working towards improving my Hindi. I haven’t had a proper teacher to teach me the language. I am looking for one now,” she says.
But she had a Hindi teacher, didn’t she?
“Not one teacher. I have had so many Hindi teachers in the past. I have been taking lessons for quite some time now. But none of them lasted long enough. My tutors get tired of me as I keep pestering them with a lot of questions. I ask questions like, ‘what is the verb in this sentence. Why is a particular word pronounced this way?’ They would just tell me that this is the way it is and we can’t change that. Those answers never satisfied me as a student,” she says.
The actress informs that the first Hindi words she ever learnt were cuss words. “They say those are the easiest to learn. I can’t tell you who taught me but I know a lot of cuss words now,” she adds.
Any guesses who taught her to cuss in Hindi?
