NAVEEN ANDREWS UPSET OVER NOT KNOWNING HINDI

British Indian actor Naveen Andrews, who plays Aishwarya Rai's abusive husband in Provoked, calls himself a fraud because he can't speak Hindi. Andrews' parents migrated to Britain in 1965 and endured all kinds of hardship and racism before his birth. Now, the Lost star is ashamed of himself and feels bad for his parents who might be disappointed in him because he can neither speak their mother tongue nor does he have any interest in discovering his roots, reports www.hollywood.tv. "As I get older I appreciate what my parents had to go through... They had to endure a lot of what I would've found unendurable," he said. "Life was very hard for them and yet they had this kid (Andrews) growing up in the 1970s speaking differently, acting differently, moving differently. It must've been very distressing to them. I'm a complete fraud. I go to India and I can't even speak my own language. They laugh at me."

Sigh.. some of my own Indian friends can't speak their mother tongue.. but I don't think there is a need for him to call himself a fraud, just because he can't speak Hindi. There is so much more to being an Indian, in my opinion. Of course, that is not to say the language doesn't help, but if you don't want to bother about the language, then don't. If you do want to, then do.

I have a question, though, regarding NRIs... what are "first generation" and "second generation" NRIs? What is the difference between the two? I have been trying to find out on the internet - and I keep getting mixed answers! Could you shed some light, please?

hi sunrise... first generation NRIs are the ones who immigrate to a country and their kids become the second generation NRIs. Simple.

Hey. First thing--- Naveen Andrews is from Kerala. His parents speak Malayalam and not Hindi.

Second thing- A large part of South India does not speak Hindi and do not wish to speakd Hindi either

Yes, his parents were from Kerala. Especially in those days hardly any Keralites knew Hindi.

NRI parents and first generation kids always go through this tough phase. It is getting better. But a long way to go. I think the adjustment has to be from both sides.
