Actress
Manava
Naik
is
known
to
be
very
experimental.
Besides
being
a
travel
freak,
she
loves
picking
up
new
skills,
especially
new
languages.
Her
latest
hobby
has
been
to
learn
French.
Incidentally,
Manava's
elder
sister
is
a
French
professor
at
a
university.
So
Manava
enjoys
free
classes
from
her.
But
this
is
not
the
first
occasion
when
Manava
has
tried
learning
a
new
language.
While
working
in
J.D.
Majethia's
"Baa
Bahu
or
Baby",
Manava
gradually
mastered
Gujarati.
Then
while
working
for
"Teen
Bahuranniya" aired
on
Zee
TV,
she
learnt
good
Punjabi.
The
character
of
the
daughter-in-law
named
Manjeet
required
Manava
to
deliver
parts
of
the
dialogues
in
Punjabi,
instead
of
Hindi.
"I
have
always
been
interested
in
language
and
culture.
Initially,
I
found
picking
up
Punjabi
words
really
hard."
But
soon,
Manava's
patience
ran
out
and
she
simply
it
gave
up.
Now,
once
again,
Manava
feels
the
urge
to
pick
up
the
thread
from
where
she
had
left.
"I
found
learning
Punjabi
more
difficult
than
learning
French,"
the
actress
says
