Because she wasn’t speaking Hindi in school, and even if we don’t speak, then there will be a problem. Phir toh woh Tayor Swift hi sunegi."

In an earlier interview with Janice Sequeira, Manoj revealed that Ava’s Hindi teacher was disappointed because she expected her to be better at the language, considering her father’s work. To improve, Ava started watching daily soaps on television. 

He said, “Puri angrez hai woh. Usse daant padti rehti hai phir bhi nahi bolti woh (She’s a foreigner. She gets scolded about this, but she doesn’t improve).
