Questions About Urdu

Hi! So in my story my character coded to be half Indian (though there isn’t real India because it’s in a made up world). But!! So my character meets with her grandpa who is her mother’s father. I have her call him Nana Jaan and his name is King Abadiya is that like a good name?
Here is the entire exchange:

CASSANDRA (talk_excited)
Grandpa Abadiya!

@KING ABADIYA faces right

    KING ABADIYA (talk_think)
I'm sorry who are you?


    CASSANDRA (talk_happy_smile)
It's me Cassandra!!


    KING ABADIYA (talk_think)

    KING ABADIYA (talk_shrug)
My Cassandra is 3ft high and only speaks of ponies.

    KING ABADIYA (talk_gossip)
You should come back and visit. Maybe you could talk some sense into him.


    CASSANDRA (talk_happy_smile)
I'd like that, though, it'll be awhile.


    CASSANDRA (talk_shrug)
Things are bound to get busy around here soon.


    KING ABADIYA (talk_think)
Well hopefully you'll get a chance for a break and you could stay with us for a week.


    CASSANDRA (talk_happy_smile)
That sounds nice. It's long over due.

I’d really like opinions on whether this is respectful or okay also if there is anything you think I should change. Thank you! :blush:

Upon some feedback I’ve changed Nana Jaan to Nana Ji! Also they’re now going to use Hindi
