Indian languages - how similar are they?

I speak German, Italian, English and French, and am learning Hindi now. I can already read the script and hold basic conversation.

After improving my Hindi in the next couple years, there are so many more South Asian languages I want to learn:

  • Urdu (just the script basically, I know)
  • Panjabi
  • Bangla
  • Nepali
  • Sanskrit, Pali or Tibetan

My question: How easy or difficult will it be, to learn some of these languages once I know Hindi? Notice that I am mostly or rather only interested in North Indian languages, so that should make it easier, I suppose.
