Sometimes, a word could have different connotations in different languages. And unknowingly using such words could lead to embarrassment. Well, let us explain with a recent example.
Recently, Charmee was called on to the stage during a show organized by a Telugu organization in the US.
The presenter addressed Charmme as Punjabi munda and a smiling Charmme went on to the stage. Even before a section of the audience could recover from the shock, the presenter had clarified that it was a respectful way of addressing a person in Punjabi.
Imagine the controversy that such a headline would throw up if somebody were to use it here.
Another example is the constant reference to Salman Khan as Sallu bhai. Now, all those who know the nuances of Telugu language, will instantly understand the double meaning Telugu connotation in this.
