Even though Amy Jackson is gearing up for her American sitcom, Supergirl, she has her feet firmly placed in Bollywood. In fact, in order to make certain that she is a draw for Indian filmmakers, Jackson has started learning Hindi formally under the guidance of Lucknow-based Vikram Rai.

Rai has been training the actor via live calling apps to enable her to perfect her pronunciation of the language. Jackson says, “I started taking classes in Hindi two weeks ago. It’s a new language, so, I will take time to perfect it. But, I am looking forward to learning it. It’s difficult, because I am working on a few international projects, and have been shuttling between countries. But, technology has made it easy for me to train with Vikram via Skype.”

Jackson adds that as per her tutor’s instructions, she has also been communicating with her staff in India in Hindi. While the actor says her limited knowledge of the language hasn’t kept her from bagging the “best projects”, she is certain that being versed with Hindi will make it easier for filmmakers to consider her for their projects.
