Preeti Desai’s multi-lingual character in One By Two
Preeti Desai who was first noticed for her role in Shor In The City, is waiting for the release of her second film, One By Two in which she stars opposite Abhay Deol. However, for Preeti, who hails from London, pursuing a career in Bollywood was a little difficult because of her foreign accent. Besides, she could speak in English and her mother tongue Gujarati. In One By Two, she had to work hard on her diction with Veena Mehta (Abbas Tyrewala’s mother-in-law). “The film was shot in sync sound, so I had to get my Hindi accent right, which I did with Veena Madam’s help. However, at times, traces of Gujarati would creep in during my dialogue delivery. The entire unit would break into laughter, and I would have to do the scene all over again. I have spoken all the lines and after my director, heard me talk to my mother in Gujarati, she decided to include some Gujarati dialogue in the film. So there is 65 per cent Hindi, 10 per cent English and 15 per cent Gujarati.” The film is directed by Devika Bhagat and will release on February 7. —JS
