His religion and where he comes from ain't even an issue. However there are very few young actors in Bollywood who are mainstream that are good role models for the community. I will be honest actually I can't name one young Sikh actor who is mainstream.
Yes, there are punjabi movies that have Sikh actors but none of those movies are mainstream and those films showing Sikhs in a positive light are not distributed widely. So many don't know they exist.

The problems are movies which are MAINSTREAM. Like 'Vicky Donor' which just perpetuated the stereotype of Sikhs in Bollywood. A joke. The actor is sikh

The song. 'Rum and Whisky' was insulting. A wedding and the grooms side was depicted as loud, drunk, and uncivilised and even the mother was drinking up a storm. This has not been the first time Bollywood has depicted Sikhs unfavourably. Whilst the hindu brides family was respectful, cultured and well behaved. They even showcased some of their customs. Whilst Sikhs where just shown getting drunk.

A lot of sublimal messages in this song

I mean is Akshay is getting old. He has been coined the comedian of Bollywood. Singh is King was horrible.

Ranbir Kapoor played a Sikh in Speedy Singh but he ain't a role model for young Sikhs. He ain't Sikh. His mother is.

The Deols are getting old and the younger one is vertually non existent. 😕

Now there is Yo Yo Honey Singh. Great. His lyrics are vulgar and he relys on auto tune. He's a cheap version of timbaland mixed with Justin Timberland.

He keeps on going about being Jatt. He most likely has stepped in MC Donalds more than a farm.

GREAT.

What's this. Some PR tactic and changing his surname to singh.

Theres Randeep Hooda and Harman Baweja but both are getting old. I don't even know if they are Sikh.
Not to mention they rarely get cast as leads in media hyped movies. Virtually non existent in Bollywood.

Sushant Singh Rajput. Haven't heard much about him either he to is not getting many films.
I feel he will always be coined the tv actor and never really make it big in Bollywood.

Who are the role models.

Bollywood does promote Sikhs in a negative light. I think they are probably the most discriminated against in Indian film.

I mean if you are going to make movies about Sikhs at least make it good. Not a joke.

I don't think that's true because there are many who like to point out which actors are

Muslim- Shah Ruk Khan

Which actors are Hindu- Hrithik and Aishwaryia.

If role models are rare why does the media always go on about what religion these famous stars belong too.

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.

This is an issue because I mentioned I liked Ranveer Singh and that it's good he was Sikh.
There was a member here very quick to say he is not Sikh. Like being Sikh is insulting.

I just assumed because his last name is Singh.
