00:00You are a Tamilian, you speak Hindi, why will they say that?
00:03Let's not divide people further in this country.
00:05A lot of problems are already going on.
00:07We want to respect our relations, not play with respect.
00:11Hindi as a national language, you yourself have sung in so many languages.
00:16And here we are talking, Ajay Devgan tweeted, someone said it,
00:20a ruckus broke out that Hindi is the national language.
00:23So a lot of people said no, as you are saying,
00:25that there are a lot of languages in this country.
00:28First of all, I don't think it is written anywhere in the constitution
00:32that the national language of India is Hindi.
00:35As far as I know, I have asked experts,
00:38nowhere it is written that Hindi is the most spoken language, I understand that.
00:43Having said that, are we aware that Tamil is the world's oldest language?
00:48There is a debate between Sanskrit and Tamil.
00:50People say Tamil is the oldest language in the entire world.
00:55Do you want to create problems in your own country?
01:02Why are you doing this? Why is there a discussion?
01:05Look at the neighbours around you.
01:07And you are creating problems in your own country by saying that you are Tamilian,
01:10you speak Hindi.
01:11Why will they say that?
01:14They will say whatever they want to say.
01:16Why are you after someone who doesn't want to speak a single language in this country?
01:20Leave it.
01:22What is this?
01:25Just let them chill.
01:26Punjabi should speak Punjabi, Tamilian should speak Tamilian.
01:29If they are comfortable in English, then let them speak in English.
01:31You also speak in English.
01:32Our court's judgement is in English.
01:34What are we talking about?
01:36We should speak Hindi, not in English.
01:38We go on flights.
01:42The air hostess asks me, what do you want to eat?
01:44I say, I want to eat veg.
01:46What do you want in non-veg?
01:48What do you want in veg?
01:49She doesn't even speak to me in Hindi.
01:51I want to speak in Hindi.
01:52And you are saying that you don't want to speak in Hindi.
01:55This is wrong.
01:56To say that we are superior in our country,
02:01you should remember our language.
02:02How will they remember it?
02:03They are not proficient in Hindi.
02:06They are more comfortable in English.
02:10Where is our foreign language in English?
02:12English has become a part of our life.
02:14We have to accept the fact that English has now become a part of our culture,
02:18of our society.
02:19And let's not divide people further in this country.
02:22A lot of problems are already going on.
02:23Let's not create another problem.
