#Milkha Singh Farhan Akhtar

[dykrophone]

Oh my god YES I could go hours and hours about Sikhs and bollywood and Sikhs in Bollywood

For an industry that's so centred around Punjabis and Sikhs and romanticism of your typical Punjabi life you think Bollywood would do a bit of research but nooo.

Non sikh actors are made to put on the pagg (see: Akshay Kumar in Kesari, Singh is King, Singh is Bling (because Sikhs can only be martyrs or a dumb comic relief), Ranbir Kapoor in Rocket Singh, Sunny Deol in Jo Bole So Nihal (I have no idea wtf this movie is about), Farhan Akhtar in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Vicky Kaushal in Sardar Udham, Aamir Khan in Laal Singh Chadda, although those last three do break the stereotypes Bollywood holds for Sikhs so like they're achieving the bare minimum)

And the irony here is that one Diljit Dosanjh interview I was watching (or read about, not sure) where he said he doesn't take on Bollywood roles that ask him to take the pagg off like I'm sorry you wanna have non sikh actors put it on but then an actual Sikh shows up you're like 'hm take that off thnx'

-that one anon who sent you that one ask this morning

oh my god yes i know exactly what you mean as a tamil person about bollywood bastardifying our culture 💀 but so much of this stuff flew under my radar, i didn't notice it was this bad?? it's so gross i never realised how often you guys are basically used as props for some political/optical agenda and then dropped when it comes to basically anything involving your actual wellbeing good god
