Nargis can walk Hindi, talk Hindi


Imtiaz Ali loves challenges. In Love Aaj Kal he made a Brazilian girl speak and dance like a desi Punjabi kudi. This time he has cast Nargis Fakhri of Czech-Pakistani origin in Rockstar. Speaking Hindi was obviously a tough task at hand but Nargis too is a determined player. She has surprised everyone by picking up the language quickly.
   A source from the crew informs, “Nargis’ command on Hindi was not good and she faced a lot of trouble mouthing the dialogues initially. Though she was assigned a Hindi teacher and Imtiaz was also helping her with her diction, she would take very long to shoot a scene. However, on a recent schedule she surprised everyone with her fluent Hindi. She has been working very hard on her Hindi and has shown a lot of improvement over the last few months. Her diction and pronunciation is clear now.” Like it taught Katrina Kaif, Bollywood has trained Nargis too. It doesn’t spare anyone.
