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
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l1jf4n84TJQI 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.
