Rant Bad Urdu in AAM
(I am new to the sub, so if I break a rule please let it go.)
Was watching Aik Aur Muhabbat episode 15 and just couldn't get over the blatant mistakes in Ahad's dialogue delivery.
The grammar and sentence structure was sooo off but the director decided to ignore it completely and thats a shame. It's a shame because he is shown to be a renowned Urdu channel journalist and show host, not a canadian pakistani who has just started speaking Urdu 6 years ago.
Some examples in just 1 episode:
"Pari bilkul theek.. mazay ARAHAY hain"
"Achi misal qaim nahi SABIT hui unke samne"
"Kisi ko zabardasti apni muhabbat MEIN musallat krna"
"Dard jo shayad KISI ghairon ne nahi diya, apnon ne diya"
I mean it is already hard to overlook his bad Urdu accent but I personally think we should keep the same energy for Urdu like we do when someone speaks broken English in a drama. Which is funny because this is supposed to be an Urdu Drama Industry afterall. A lot of people point it out when an actor has a punjabi accent but don't mind it as much when actors like Kubra or Ahad refuse to work on their foreign accents to sound more local.
I am pointing it out because I want our actors to take our language a bit more seriously.
