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.

To me, it SOUNDED like she had a thick accent and tried to train it out by learning British vowels and stress. Maybe it was an accent I've never heard before.

What does make someone sound British, or anything, then, if not the vowels and stress?
