He isn't Sikh. He is a Hindu and belongs to Bihar. Born and brought up in Patna till Xth standard after which he and his family shifted to Delhi.

Regarding the not 'getting films' part- he's currently doing a film with Dibakar Banerjee and one with Shekhar Kapur. They are going to keep him busy till end of 2014.


Yeah I thought so.

How come they have Singh though.

Usually it's only Sikhs that have the middle names.

Male-Singh
Female- Kaur

Many people who have Singh in their name are not necessarily Sikhs, many other communities have adapted Singh in their names from their ancestors

I have absolutely disliked the way Sikhs/sardars are shown to be clowny and always drunk in the bollywood movies and people tend to generalise them all in same light who are not aware. I think Ranbir's potrayal as Rocket Singh did not show anything offensive against the community as far as I remember, or did it?

And Yes, Honey Singh is from Punjab and it is embarrassing considering the kind of lyrics he writes.

There are heaps of Punjabi celebs in BW, not many are sikh though

He's not young. I said young new comers and he is rarely in films, not publicised widely in the media and being phased out of Bollywood.

Can't even remember the last film he was in.

Yeah but none of these actors are young rising talent and they are being phased out of Bollywood.

No, Biharis can have Singh as the last name too. Many of my friends from Bihar have Singh as their last name. Many times they have Kumar as their middle name. Similarily Sushant's real name is Sushant Kumar Singh. But he uses Sushant Singh Rajput as Rajput was his mother's surname before marriage. (His Mom is no more.)
