Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray put up a post on social media X on Tuesday, appreciating a young Japanese woman who is currently residing in the state and learning Marathi. The woman reportedly learns a new Marathi word every day and posts short videos documenting her progress. 

Thackeray, sharing the woman's video in his post, said that foreigners visiting Maharashtra respect the state and make efforts to learn the local language.
