Just curious...

I know that Barun is from Delhi, but where is the last name Sobti from? Is it punjabi?

Also, Sanaya had mentioned in one of her interviews that she had to learn hindi when she started in the industry, so where is she from?

Sobti is a punjabi surname. 

Sanaya is parsi. Parsi's are originallly from Iran.

Just because someone is an Indian it doesn't necessarily mean they are fluent in Hindi as different languages are spoken all over India. 

She is from Mumbai so she probably she knew basic Hindi but she wasn't fluent in it. 

When someone becomes a hindi serial /movie actor it is necessary to be  fluent in  Hindi with proper diction and all.

If you watch early episodes of MJHT you will notice her HIndi wasn't as good as it now. She didn't seem as comfortable. Her Hindi has improved a lot now and IMO she has one of the best diction in the industry. Her dialogue delivery is awesome.

True, Sanaya hails from Mumbai...but from wot i re-collect of her old i/vs - she studied in a boarding school where hindi wasnt mandatory...and her family converses in english...so thats why she dinno hindi...

@red - DITTO that! her diction has improved massively...during mjht and now in ipk, wherein she has all those heavy duty hindi words...and she speaks them all wid such ease...its very impressive!
