Celina Jaitly’s Take on Accents and Her Time Abroad

On Friday, Jaitly shared a picture of herself in a black top and ripped jeans, expressing amusement at the way accents evolve after brief international trips. She wrote, “It’s hilarious how many fellow desis go on a four-day holiday and return with a full-blown accent—like they spent years at Oxford or chilling in New York.” Speaking of her own experience, she added, “Despite being an expat woman for the last 14 years in Singapore, Dubai, and Europe, my English accent still hasn’t changed!”

The actress further shared that living in Austria has made her English worse due to speaking German as her first language there. “Now, coming back to Mumbai, I hear my friends sounding like English news broadcasters, and I can't help but wonder—where did I go wrong? Clearly, my ascent to a fancy accent didn't go well… instead, I just tripped over grammar and landed in the land of What-did-you-just-say?”
