Ans: Hello
Interview anxiety is not uncommon & most face that.
Do practice/mock interviews with professionals (there are lot of them nowadays).
The only way to gain confidence is to PRACTICE.
Also do bit of introspection in terms of what gets you anxiety - subject knowledge/communication skills/public speaking?
Once you identify, put focused effort to improve that particular area.
All the Best!

Ans: Hello Ganpati,
While I understand that most interviews are conducted in English and fluency does help in getting good impression. However, unless job under consideration demands so, lack of it should not deeply hamper your chances if you are otherwise competent & able to present so in a different language.
In fact, most sensible interviewers do ask the language comfort of interviewee & even interviewee is free to express that upfront.
Having said that, since English happens to be the most common medium of communication at workplaces, a decent hold will certainly do no harm to your overall career prospects otherwise. Hence I suggest that you do not limit this to the interview rather make a concerted effort to improve your language skills in general. There are ample online/offline options available nowadays to groom such skills.

All the Best !
