First language

A bharathanatyam artist interviewed during Vanakkam thamilagam talks all Tamil and no English. Now, Whatz up with that? ..........He is born and brought up in America, and his father is an American. He returned to India to sacrifice his life to art, and to follow the tradition his ancestors had saved for 8 generations. .......and his language had no english slang, and was better than the tv host.

The south African who acted in the movie Iyartkai answered in Tamil for a TV interview.

Aishwarya Rai in a american talk show, answered a question saying, " I can speak Hindi, marati, my mother tongue tulu and broken Tamil"

Simran and Kushboo talks Tamil

Even Nameetha is seen talking Tamil these days..(unbearable , but lets appreciate her interest)

But, I dont understand why Trisha cannot speak?...The reason she says is 'I am convent brought up, so I feel comfortable talking in Tamil'. How many % of us are convent educated and where does her argument leads to?

One interview of her before few years in Sun tv

Host: unga perukku artham enna theryuma?
Trisha: Trisha-nna ..(Pause)...Russia-la vetti-nu artham...(to someone off the camera)..vetti correct-a....oh vetri...ha ! han! vetri-nu artham....

ammanikku vetri kooda theriyaathaama...ennama style kaatraanga...btw, there is no word in Russia by that name. Anegama tirisooli-ngaratha surukku trisha-nnu vechirupaanga...

I also wonder what is about all the people who is introducing themselves in TV channels, (like Ilamai puthumai, thanga vaettai, neengal ketta paadal etc.,) always says, " My name is narmada, I am a housewife"..."My name is aruchaamy, I am working in a private concern"
