"I used to communicate in Gujarati but since my father passed away, I don't communicate in the language as much as my childhood phase. Now I am doing a film and so I will try my best to speak in a correct manner. I think I am not fluent in any of Indian language but I always try to do a film in all Indian languages." the actor added.
