On the occasion of Hindi Diwas, we will tell you what this language means to TV actors like Shashank Vyas, Aastha Chaudhary, Rajesh Kumar and Rohitashv Gour
In the world full of people speaking English, be someone’s
Hindi speaking friend. September 14 marks as Hindi Diwas, every year! We have
often seen India celebrating different Days, but Hindi Diwas is such an
occasion that tells people the importance of Hindi language. This morning, we
brought you the importance of Hindi Diwas and the history behind it.
The Constituent Assembly Of India adopted Hindi as the
Official Language of the Republic of India on September 14, 1949, and hence,
this date is auspicious. On the occasion of Hindi Diwas, we will tell you what
this language means to TV actors like Shashank Vyas, Aastha Chaudhary, Rajesh
Kumar, and Rohitashv Gour.
Shashank Vyas: Hindi is in my blood. I try to communicate in Hindi as much as possible. I am proud of our national language and my mother tongue. I am more comfortable speaking in Hindi than in English. Hindi is a language because of which I earn my bread and butter, it's very important for me to know the language well.
Aastha Chaudhary: Being a north Indian, my main language is Hindi. My mother is a Hindi, Sanskrit teacher and my mama and grandfather are Hindi poets. Our local and primary language is Hindi. I read a lot of Hindi novels Premchand, Gulzar - Hindi-Urdu, Dharamveer Bharti, Amrita Pritam. My favorite book is Gunaho Ke Devta, I have a library at my house and I still read a lot of stories when I get a good book. When you go to Northern India, people still talk in Hindi, and it's not wrong to use English. It's good to talk in your global language but at the same time, your kids should know how to talk in Hindi. Many parents feel proud that their kids talk fluent English but the kids should be taught their mother tongue and Hindi too.
Rajesh Kumar: North India is a Hindi speaking belt, only the southern side doesn't speak much but due to corporate culture, they do know some words. I always speak in Hindi, the kind of work I am in, there's very less interaction with English speaking people. On the set, we all use Hindi. We work in the entertainment field which has Hindi as the primary language. I used to read Hindi novels but I don't get time much now. I still try and read the stories of Premchand, my favorite is Raag Darbari by Sri Laal Shukla. I advise my writer friends to read this book. It's a bible of satire and the projection of characters is very interesting. I am from Bihar, so Hindi and Sanskrit were taught to me, which help in pronouncing the words correctly. Hindi is not looked down and since globalization, it's used more.
Rohitashv Gour: Hindi is our national language. We are
citizens of India and respecting Hindi is in our blood. I try to speak in Hindi
all the time. I am from NSD and there we are taught theatre in Hindi. We are
also part of showbiz where shows and films are made in Hindi. We should promote
the Hindi language. Whenever the meetings of the UN are held, all the countries
speak in their native language but we don't. I am very well versed in Hindi,
you will see that my character in my show speaks Hindi very well. Today's kids
look down on people who speak in Hindi. Today, there are actors like Ashutosh
Rana, Pankaj Tripathi and even me who is going ahead in life and doing well,
speaking only in Hindi. Mohan Rakesh's Aadhe Adhoore, Aashaad Ka Ek din, Rahul
Sankrityayan's Volga Se Ganga Tak, these are some books one should read to
learn Hindi well.
