I'm yet to come across someone with strong "Hindi Accent"
however, you might like correcting yourself by seeing it as strong "Indian Accent", instead.
Again, for someone with STRONG Indian accent, it would be harder to "imitate" British accent, since they'll have to change their sound to EVEN BIGGER extent to make themself sound British & doing so would be HARDER than someone with MILD Indian accent.
Beside, merely stressing on vowel or words or sentences, doesn't make anyone sound "British", however, such is the widely held belief ;), since regardless of her stressed vowel, etc. the articulation behind those vowels, etc. which she's using would STILL stay as an "Indian articulation".
