Exclusive: Madhuri Dixit spoke about her desi accent in Maa Behen
In an exclusive chat with India TV, Madhuri Dixit spoke about her desi accent in the film. She said, “We (Dharna, Triptii and Madhuri) had to work for it. We had some workshops, we sang a lot of songs. Every day we used to eat samosas after that. But we worked at it. But Suresh (director) had one instruction saying that we are not going to hold you hostage if you say one word different. Because we want the lyrical value of the language. The rhythm of it, in the very cute way it flows. So that’s what we kept in mind. And we have not gone very hard on one kind of an accent or something.”
While giving an example about it, the actress continued, “I’ll give you an example. ‘Garmi lagta hai mujhe.’ ‘Garmi lagta humko.’ ‘Humko’ is such a fuller word. So that’s the beauty of that world and the language. So we just tried to bring that in.”
To this, director Suresh Triveni added, “Triptii and Dharna were still familiar with that space. But they all did a workshop. All of them did a directive.” Adding to that, Madhuri said, “And they did so much that I still think of ‘Hamra’. There’s a ‘Hamra’ in the middle of English sentence nowadays for me.”
