Harman wants to be the 'Singh-Kinng' of Bollywood
By ZeeNews, 27 December, 2008

Akshay Kumar's goofball Singh avatar might have made the Sikh look a rage amongst his peers but the actor's astounding success left an impression so strong on Harman that the Baweja scion has decided to add the 'Singh' factor to his name.

Come next year, the Baweja lad will be known as Harman Singh Baweja. According to reports, the actor will be billed as Harman S Baweja.

A little birdie told us that Harman was much too impressed by Akshay's 'Singh' act. But the actor denies that Akshay has been the reason behind adding an extra 'S' to his name.

Sources tell us that the actor who is eagerly awaiting the release of his next flick, 'Victory' is using every trick in the book to add a hit to his kitty. And the 'S' has much to do with luck.

Let's just hope that the actor doesn't add the 'S' in girlfriend Priyanka's name too.

Harman confirmed in a recent interview that his full name as per passport is Harman Singh Baweja and when the Directory of Victory - Ajit Pal came to know about this he suggested harman to use his full name in the movie,.... So nothing great or big deal about it...

every sikh man has singh in his name , and girl has kaur, but mostly in careers like actors, models dont use it , one reason can be it makes a name long , and mostly ppl use their nick names and singh kaur doent suit with it, like gul panag , her full name is Gulkeerat Kaur Panag ( her passport, documents name ) gul is her nick name that she use,

harman has added singh for this movie, its not like he has changed his name , he is just using his full name now

I hope it works for him, even though I don't think he needs it; Victory looks like a good movie!

SINGH is a title given to sikh males it was started by the gurus it got absolutely nothing to do with luck, punjabi or a bunch of dons wearing turbans and some idiot geting into mishaps.

If harman if sikh and thats his real name then its fair enough but to add singh is stupid.

The Sikhs adopted Singh as a surname in 1699, as per the wish of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru. In the Spring of 1699, on the day of Baisakhi, Guru Gobind Singh (originally named Guru Gobind Rai), made it mandatory for all Sikh males to append the name suffix Singh after their name. Singh is used as a middle name or as a surname by approximately 20 million adherents of Sikhism.

The word "Singh" is derived from the Sanskrit Si?ha meaning lion.

Every Sikh is required to aspire to sainthood by his devotion to God and service to mankind, but also, according to the situation, to adopt the role of the soldier. The Sikhs look at the martyrdom of the 9th Guru for trying to protect Hindus from religious persecution, in Delhi, on 11 November 1675 AD, as an example to be followed.

Sikhs are required not to renounce the world,and aspire to live a modest life. Seva (service) is an integral part of Sikh worship, very easily observed in the Gurdwara. Visitors of any religious or socio-economic background are welcomed, where Langar (food for all) is always served.

The Sikhs also revere Bhaktas or Saints belonging to different social backgrounds. The work of these Bhagats is collected in Guru Granth Sahib, and is known as Bhagat-Bani (sacred word of bhagat) as against work of Sikh Gurus being known as Gur-Bani (sacred word of guru).

"bunch of dons wearing turbans and some idiot getting into mishaps"

I think you should define the term SINGH again you came off a bit harsh

Ok firstly sorry if i did .....^^thats what i was trying to say i am sikh myself i know that much nothing against harman its fair enough if he wants to adopt the surname..i was just saying its about sikhism not what area people are from.

SINGH is a title given to sikh males it was started by the gurus - thats what i did say what that definition says that it was started by the gurus i just did not go into that much detail.

That comment bunch of dons is how i saw Singh is king..because thats how it came across to me..its just the article made reference to the movie.
