How do I fix Siri not replying appropriately?

When I told Siri to Jai Shree, Ram Ram or Radhe Radhe, why can't Siri reply?

Hello ChetanMistry, welcome to the Apple Support Community!

This is simply because Siri sometimes has trouble recognizing or interpreting certain specific spiritual expressions or cultural greetings if they are not recorded in its voice database. To get around this, you can go to the Shortcuts app on your iPhone and create a custom automation, associate the phrase of your choice (such as "Ram Ram") with a specific action, such as playing music or opening an application. Also make sure that Siri's language is set in Settings > Siri & Search. Have a nice day :)
