I can answer that. 😆 Kajol's mom, Tanuja, is a Maharashtrian. Did you know that Kajol can speak Marathi and Bengali quite fluently. 😃

Kajol's mummy is Marathi!

The wedding was scheduled to take place at the Juhu Gurudwara before the huge media frenzy outside the Gurudwara led them to cancel the wedding and they decided to do it at home.

Initially, since the media was informed that the wedding venue was to be a gurudwara in Juhu, many press cameras were seen crowding at that venue. There were many Ajay-Kajol fans ardently waiting for a glimpse of their favourite young couple. But sadly, both, the press and the crowd were left high and dry since the venue was changed at the last moment. Two reasons for that: One, that Ajay's grandmother passed away a few days earlier. Thus it couldn't be a grand occasion. And two, both the families knew that since the venue was publicly declared earlier, there would be huge crowds that wouldn't be able to be managed later. So, the wisest decision was to change the venue at the last moment and keep it secret.

Sorry, people. No offense. Please enlighten and educate my ignorant self. Why do Sikhs and Hindus go to each other's place of worship? As a child, I was always told that Hindus and Sikhs are followers of TWO, TOTALLY DIFFERENT faiths. But in Bollywood, I see Sardars doing the Laxmi pooja, and Hindus going to Gurudwaras. I am really confused. Is this a normal thing between the two communities, or is this just a director's fantasy to integrate the two?

Please, someone with a really sound knowledge on the topic help me out here. Thank you.

Culture always plays a bigger part than religion. Punjabi culture is predominant in the north. The Hindus go to Gurudwaras and the Sikh's chant " Jai Mata Di". Laxmi is more of a western goddess. Don't see a lot of that in North India.

Just a heads up... Being a Punjabi and being a Sikh are two TOTALLY different things. If you are a punjabi, that is your race. If you are a Sikh, that is your RELIGION. So even though Ajay Devgan may be a punjabi, he may not be a Sikh. I dont know about that. But I thought I'd clear up this misconception.

For example, the Kapoor family (Rishi, Ranbir bla bla) are Punjabis but they are NOT sikhs. They are hindus.

You can certainly be a punjabi if you live in Punjab or have roots in Punjab but that does not automatically make one a Sikh.

Its true that Sikhs have ALWAYS been misrepresented in BW movies and its about time that Sikhs stop being push-overs and represented in a bad light. Because BW movies are not just shown in India, they are shown all over the world and many people can form misconceptions because of how a certain group of people are portrayed.

It is NOT right to showcase something that is totally wrong. Being a Sikh, we do not believe in idols. And to show a Sikh man with a tatoo of a hindu god is tantamount to insulting our beliefs. If Ajay Devgan was a Sikh, he would have known that.

It wouldnt be right if another religion was misrepresented in punjabi movies and in the same vein, the opposite is true as well. As a Sikh, I am not offended by BW anymore. Bollywood directors are mostly full of crap and claim to do research for this and that but fill their movies with many bs and misrepresentations.

We are a young religion, barely 300 years old. There are about 27 million Sikhs worldwide. BW should stop falsifying facts about Sikhs and Im in complete support of the Akal Takht if they choose to pursue action against this movie.

Phew. End of rant.
