뜻
Used to state that one does not know or has no information about something.
문화적 배경
In Delhi and UP, 'andaaza' is often used with a hand gesture—a slight tilt of the head and a shrug—to show genuine helplessness. In tech hubs like Bangalore, this phrase is often mixed with English: 'Mujhe koi idea nahi hai' is equally common. Scriptwriters use this phrase to make characters seem more 'human' and less like all-knowing heroes. In villages, people might use the more Sanskritized 'anumaan' or the local dialect version, but 'andaaza' is understood everywhere due to radio and TV.
The 'Bilkul' Boost
Add 'bilkul' (absolutely) before 'andaaza' to sound more natural when you are completely clueless.
Don't say 'Main'
Never start this phrase with 'Main'. It's always 'Mujhe'. This is the most common error for English speakers.

Use it for Politeness
If someone asks a personal question you don't want to answer, 'Mujhe is baare mein zyada andaaza nahi hai' is a very polite way to dodge it.
