Mumbai: Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut said the film world has always made fun of her English, despite which she has always kept Hindi as her priority.
Kangana's sister Rangoli Chandel took to Twitter on the occasion of Hindi Diwas on Friday and shared a video of the actor.
"The film world has always made fun of my English...and criticised it. But still, I've kept Hindi language as my priority for which I could expand my reach and achieve major success," she said.
In the video, Kangana is seen urging everyone to give importance to Hindi.
The Judgementall Hai Kya actor heard saying in the video: "Today on Hindi Diwas, let's take Panga with English but with love. Hindi is our national language but the nation worries speaking it... 'A, B, C' comes out with confidence but 'ka, kha, ga' doesn't come out with that much confidence... Parents also say with full pride that their children speak amazing English..."
"If you are weak in English, then you feel ashamed but if your Hindi is weak then there is not even a line of worry on the forehead... Bhasha becomes the password of the social circle and sometimes the certificate of our talent," she added.
The 32-year-old actress, who currently is awaiting the release of her next film Panga, urged all mothers to teach their children Hindi.
"I urge all mothers the way they treat their children with 'desi ghee laddoo' with love... the same way they should teach them Hindi because the taste you get in 'desi ghee paranthas' you don't get that taste in pizzas and burgers. And the love is in the word 'ma', it's not the same in the word 'mom'," she said.
