(picked this up while watching the serial - Buniyaad)
In standard Hindi we say - "Mujhe apne aap unse baat karna tha"
But the Punjabi characters say
"Mere ko Aap unse baat karna tha"
They reduce "apne aap" to just "aap"
Comments?

What % of the Punjabi Hindu population in undivided Punjab had Punjabi as their mother tongue, as opposed to Western Hindi?
Did a large % of households just speak Hindi at home with a Punjabi flavor?
E.g. Khana khaoge puttar? - is still Hindi and not Punjabi
"Ve to sant vargi insaan hain" (he is a saintly person)
"varg" as we all know refers to category in hindi
Elsewhere, outside of Punjab afaik we typically say -
"Ve to sant Jaise hai"
