Hindi term or phrase: rajnibhai...
the setting is the US, with indian people: one is affecting being american
...
The owner was on the speakerphone.
“Rajnibhai, Kem chho?”
“What?”
“Rajnibhai?”
“Who aez thees?” Very Indian-trying-to-be-American accent.
“Kem chho? Saaru chho? Teme samjo chho?”
“WHAAT?”
“Don’t speak Gujerati, sir?”
“No.”
“You are Gujerati, no?”
“No.”
...

i've figured "kem chho?" is "how are you?"
and "Saaru chho? Teme samjo chho?" is on the way for the next question

Rajnibhai..
Explanation:
Actually these are all Gujarati terms..
The whole sentence Kem chho?Saaru Chho? Teme samjho chho? means :
how are you? Are you (doing) well? Do you understand?
Gujaratis address others are bhai(meaning brother:for males) or ben (meanign sister ; forfemales)
So the Guy he's talking to is Rajni.. and the Gujarati dude calls this guy Rajnibhai.
So a "Kem chho" is responded to with "Majama"(pronounced majaa maa) or "Saaru"
