Why Urdu Sounds Like Love | Guftugu with Jaaved Jaafrey
Jaaved Jaaferi joins Atika Farooqui for a warm conversation Urdu, adab, and the Hindustani language. He shares how he grew up in Bandra in an English medium convent setup. Urdu was around at home but he studied it properly later in college with an Urdu and Persian professor. He talks about how classic cinema and old film songs carried Urdu into everyday speech. He also explains why Urdu pronunciation trains you to speak many languages better.
Jaaved credits Rekhta Foundation for making Urdu easier to access through Roman script. Hindi script. translations. and the internet. He says Urdu will stay alive because phones changed the medium, not the love for the language. There is also humor, mimicry, voice work stories, loose talk memories, and a strong closing on shared culture.
