TTS.speak not working for iOS platform (specifically Hindi language having inconsistent behaviours) #257

The Tts.speak(speech) method is getting called but voice over is not working on iOS platform. I am using an iPhone 11 (iOS version 17.2.1) for debugging purpose. This issue is specific to the iOS platform. Having inconsistent behaviour. I have tried many things like setting the default speech rate, pitch etc. Sometimes it works randomly. But I want it to work all the time as expected. So let me know if I am missing something here. Thanks in advance.

Here is my TTS class method for speak functionality:-

public speak = async (speech: string): Promise<void> => {
        // Stopping any existing listener
        Tts.stop();

        // Waiting to initialize TTS engine
        Tts.getInitStatus().then(() => {
            // Calling the TTS.speak method here...
            Tts.speak(speech);
        }, (err) => {
            if (err.code === 'no_engine') {
                Tts.requestInstallEngine();
            }
        });
    } // speak method end
