Special Conversation on hindi Diwas:
Renowned filmmaker rajkumar hirani, known for films like 3 Idiots, PK, and Munnabhai M.B.B.S, shared his thoughts on hindi with amar Ujala on the occasion of hindi Diwas.
Hindi as a Mother Tongue:
Rajkumar emphasized that hindi is our mother tongue, the language we have spoken, listened to, and thought in since childhood.
He said this creates a special sense of belonging when communicating in hindi, whether within india or abroad.
Despite the growing influence of english in big cities, the simplicity and emotional depth of Hindi continues to resonate deeply with people.
Language as culture and Identity:
According to Rajkumar, language is not just a means of communication but an integral part of our culture, identity, stories, folk songs, and history.
Using correct hindi in films or stories helps audiences connect emotionally and truly feel the power of the language.
Memorable hindi Moment on Set:
He recalled the amusing experience of actor Omi Vaidya in 3 Idiots, who was born in America and didn’t know hindi well.
Omi’s unique hindi speaking style made everyone laugh and became a memorable part of the film, especially his Teachers' Day speech.
Rajkumar highlighted that the power of language lies not only in correct pronunciation but also in expression and emotion.
Keeping hindi Engaging for Youth:
Rajkumar suggested that parents encourage hindi at home by speaking to children in hindi, playing hindi songs, reading hindi books, and telling stories.
This fosters interest and understanding of hindi, making it a part of the youth’s thinking and feelings, even if they use english outside.
Biggest beauty of Hindi:
The simplicity of hindi is its greatest strength—words are pronounced exactly as they are written.
Unlike english, where pronunciation and spelling often differ, hindi has a clear, direct relationship between letters and sounds.
This makes hindi an easy-to-understand, heart-touching language accessible to everyone.
