A thread about Sikh representation in Bollywood
Sikhs have always represented in Bollywood with a loud, reckless personality. Not only that they are mainly used for comic relief. Often times these characters are not too played by Sikh’s themself but actors who pose as Sikh men/women
@NetflixIndia ‘s scared games has casted Saif Ali Khan to play a Sikh police officer named Sartaj Singh. As much as I enjoyed the acting, I believe @diljitdosanjh has proven himself to play a commendable actor who plays a cop in Udta Punjab
In Kesari Akshay Kumar plays the role of a Sikh fighter, why? Is Kumar Punjabi? Yes he is but he isn’t a Sikh therefore this is a false representation
