No, they're most likely not related at all. There are some wild theories that try to relate (very distantly) practically every language on the planet, but they're usually not taken very seriously. And even if they were related, that would not mean that they sound similar--English and Hindi are definitely related--but I wouldn't say that they sound similar.
