Ali Fazal is enjoying teaching Lucknowi tehzeeb and Hindi to his 'Prasthaanam' co-star Amyra Dastur

Amyra Dastur has been a busy girl off late. The beautiful actress has got a great lineup this year. She will be seen in 'Rajma Chawal' with Rishi Kapoor and debutant Anirudh Tanwar, the Hindi remake of the Telugu blockbuster, 'Prasthaanam' with Sanjay Dutt and Ali Fazal and Alt Balaji's webseries starring Kangana Ranaut and Rajkummar Rao 'Mental Hai Kya'. She has also replaced Lisa Haydon in season 2 of Disney India’s 'The Trip', which also stars Shweta Tripathi, Mallika Dua and Sapna Pabbi.

Amyra, who is currently shooting 'Prasthaanam' with Ali Fazal in Lucknow,is completely blown away by the rich diction and Lucknowi tehzeeb of the Nawaabs. She is required to speak in a certain way for the film as her character is based in Lucknow but she being a typical Parsi girl from South Mumbai, was very well acquainted with the Bambaiya Hindi but not the one that is spoken up north. 

She was required to learn proper diction for the role who better to tutor her than Ali Fazal?! The 'Victoria and Abdul' actor readily stepped in to coach his on screen love interest, considering he’s from the city and has a great command over the language.

When asked about his newest role of a teacher, Ali replied, "Amyra wanted to learn the polished Hindi that is spoken in North India. So we have our fun sessions in between shots where I throw difficult words and phrases her way to get her accustomed to the language."

"Ali speaks a vastly different Hindi as compared to what a SoBo girl like me would speak. I didn't leave him an option but to teach me a few things. I can say he's a fun teacher to hang out with!" Amyra added.
