"This is very annoying," she says in her TikTok video captioned: "I had to speak extra slowly because this went against all of my instincts."

"So you know the meme that's like "yeh hamari pawri ho rahi hai". Like intentionally with the American accent?

"I can't even make a joke about that because that's what I sound like all the time, ya know?

"Like the American accent's not funny," she laments.

According to pardesi.carly, Dananeer Mobeen's way of speaking in her uber-famous 'Pawri Hori Hai' video is "intentional obnoxious gori pronunciation".
