TANISHA MEHTA ON WORLD HINDI DAY

TV star Tanisha Mehta, who is currently seen essaying the lead role of Heer in the popular ZEE TV show Ikk Kudi Punjab Di, also opened up about her love for the Hindi language and its significance.

Talking about the same, the talented actress stated, "I believe that Hindi Diwas is a unique occasion to honor our national language. It is not just a dialect, but it is also a symbol of our culture and unity. Expressing ourselves in our native language is a reflection of our culture, history, and unity, and not just a collection of words. When we are emotional, we tend to use our comfort language to better convey our feelings. And nowadays, Hindi is not just used in India but also in foreign countries, and this makes me really proud. Let us not forget that Hindi is our precious heritage, and it is our responsibility to preserve and promote it!"
