Hahaha, that I agree...He is😳

Umm, TM is mainly addressing how there is stereotypical and negative potrayal of Sikhs in bollywood...and that there is no young emerging talent as Sikh who can bring positive limelight



Are we actually looking for a Role Model that too in Bollywood? 😆

This is such a stupid post. Why should a particular community must represent India through Bollywood? It's not politics. It's not an arena where reservations are at work.

People should represent Bollywood through talent, not as parts of different communities.




Bollywood has continuously made a mockery of Sikhs. There needs to be positive characters aswell who are in the media

The Punjab is not doing that great either. High unemployment rates. high level of drug addiction and suicide aswell. They also watch Bollywood aswell and the portrayal of Sikhs is poor

It's good when a Sikh does well in Bollywood.

Also thinks its quite hypocritical. There are many who publicise when a Bollywood actor speaks out about mistreatment of Muslims and are a saviour or a bollywood actor enjoying and respecting a Hindu festival.

If its not an issue for people why does the Media constantly report this.

No state is doing particularly well in India. By that logic, every state should get one of their own to act in Bollywood. Believe me or not, ordinary Indians hardly care about representative or such nonsense. And Indian media has nothing better to do other than idolize Bollywood stars. We have bigger worries than Bollywood, I am afraid. And if bollywood has portrayed sikhs poorly, that is in no way connected to anything. Wake up.

Also, Bollywood tends to make fun of every community, they do it with the Southies, Bengalis and so on. We need to stop taking everything seriously.


These are issues though.

Bollywood has also gotten a lot of flack for rarely casting exceptionally darker toned characters in the leads. There are also rarely any actors from the north east region. So you don't see much diversity represented in Bollywood either.

India is diverse.

Also the large quantity of white women being employed for Bollywood music videos. White washing of bollywood is also another issue.

As bollywoid is the largest media producer in India watched by many these are issues that will spark discussion.

Wait. Ranbir Kapoor's mother is Sikh.. his dad's family are Khatris. And Khatris generally believe in both Hinduism and Sikhism, like Akshay Kumar. Shahid Kapor again half-Sikh. Siddhart Malhotra's mother could be Sikh too but I am not so sure.

A lot of cricketers/hockey stars are Sikh.

Most popular Bollywood singers are Sikh, like Honey Singh, Mika Singh, Sukhwinder etc.

You do realize Sikhs make up just 2% of India's population, yet they're pretty much everywhere.. you should be proud instead of looking for a "role model".

'And if Bollywood has portrayed Sikhs poorly, that is no way connected to anything. Wake up'

If that's the case why is Bollywood doing it why are you being rude in your replies

You have already called my post stupid, and you told me to WAKE UP.

So yes this is an issue otherwise you would not care to reply to this thread aggressively.

If I had made a thread. "Katrina likes the color pink" it would have not gotten as many replies. Topics like that are not issues.

Whats the big deal? If sikhs are shown as clowns in the movies, they are often shown as a happy to go lucky, kind-hearted ,they will do anything for friendship kind of ppl. Bet not all Sikhs are like that too. I do realize how stereotyping a whole sect of ppl can be offending,but thats how things operate in BW and in general throughout the world.
You do have Abhay Deol, Jimmy Shergill,Parminder Nagra etc.
