In the episode, Friends of Once again, John Kumar Sanu and Nikki Tamboli are having a rough day. Nikki starts talking in Marathi with fellow contestant Rahul’s doctor. So, John, who does not understand Marathi, asks her to speak in Hindi if she is brave. “Marathi may mat bat just samne, chidh hoti hai muje,”He tells her. Nikki assures him that they are not talking about him.
Of note, John may be simply saying that Nikki is annoying when she speaks in Marathi so it doesn’t make sense. His words should not be a statement about language.
