Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Memoir of the War in India William Thorn 1806 'Besides the matchlock, spear, the scimitar, which are all excellent in their kinds, some of the Seiks are armed with a very singular weapon, which they use with great and destructive effect against cavalry. It consists of a hollow circle, made of finely tempered steel, with an exceedingly sharp edge, about a foot in diameter, and and inch in breadth on the inner side. This instrument the horseman poises on his fore-finger, and after giving it two or three swift motions, to accelerate its velocity, sends it from him to the distance of some hundreds of yards, the ring cutting and maiming, most dreadfully, every living object that may chance to be in its way.'

I checked google it said that it means inner soul?Not sure though.

One day soon I will open this forum and see comment from yourself; that Sangat Ji today I was blessed with amrit di daat ?

Remember this guy? Juggy D. He's apparently been arrested for domestic violence. He was in Delhi partying and sleeping with women. When he was back in London his wife went through his phone and read the messages, decided to post them on his social media and he then started beating her up. I'm not surprised he always was a bit of a loose cannon. I remember a few years back he was in rehab for drugs, and when he came out everyone was quite supportive. I know he's a mona and not a practicing Sikh but these days every other person is committing adultery, and it is destructive, I don't understand why people even bother getting married these days? considering he's been married for 11 years, his kids are obviously still in primary school, this will scar them for life. Seems like a lot of women were being passed around, involving some other Punjabi singers like Guru Randawa? Not surprising at all, Its part of the package when you are in showbiz and the entertainment industry, not sure why women marry these men https://www.ghaintpunjab.com/GhaintPunjab/Article/38226/punjabi-singer-juggy-d-arrested-by-london-police-in-domestic-violence-case

With maharajs apaar kirpa beant kirpa, I have been doing my nitnem and practicing to tie a dastaar and become vegetarian. I still can't properly tie a dastaar yet. I have been begging for Amrit for so long. Some days I feel so upset because I still haven't been blessed with Amrit. But I do manage console myself with telling myself to be patient and have trust. I really don't know but at this moment I feel my soul is dying without amrit or without maharajs bani. Any bani, keertan, simran that I recite, I feel it's not enough and I can't get over it. I just went to the gurdwara yesterday and I feel like running there back again. I will wait for maharaj to do his kirpa. Sometimes for paapi like me to walk on Maharaj's hukam is quite hard. I know maharaj has heard me and will definitely fulfil my one and only desire to take Amrit.

Okay, just seen his apology. If he has done wrong then can understand the wife being unhappy/angry BUT, re the alleged domestic violence, it might not be true It would be a good chance if he really is in the dumps, for someone (whose into Sikhi) to reach out to him and help him change his life maybe

No bro it's not funny.

Are you in Malaysia? Congratulations to you too ??

Allegedly, we don't have proof

A European writes that Singhs were extremely accurate, deadly and brutal with their Chakkarr throw. Singhs used to decorate their dumalla with lots of chakkarrs. Dhan Chakkarr!

He allegedly beat his wife to a pulp, what do you want, photo's (and it's not the first time he's been arrested, de's been done for drug offences in the past). And the famous singer that has a similar name, is he the one who got caught by his wife having an affair with a female singer from Punjab, his wife dumped him and then took him back because she realised that she enjoyed the comfortable life, oh, he was arrested for domestic abuse as well, just sayin.....

agar - other, tha - place Just a guess? It's probably Hindi

I read this and thought it was another Punjabi singer with a similar-ish name and much more famous! But, had quick read of the link and I don't see any proof/evidence he's done anything wrong.

The tragic story of the actress Vimi. This actress was in the famous dharmic Punjabi movie "Nanak Naam Jahaz Hai" she was the lead actress. She was born into a Sikh family, went against her parents and married an industrialist. Her dream was to become a Bollywood actress and through her husbands connections met some Bollywood directors at fancy parties. Her in-laws were against her getting into movies as it would damage the families reputation, but she went against her in-laws and made a movie. Her husband was supportive of her. But she wasn't a great actress and didn't receive many offers after her first movie. Once her husband realized her career has flopped he dumped her and went running back to his parents, the parents accepted him back but rejected her. She made a few movies here and there. She then took to alcohol and became an alcoholic, ended up in a relationship with a failed film maker and then ended up in prostitution. She eventually died of the cirrhosis of the liver aged just 32. She had no money left to pay the hospital bill and her body was taken to the cremation ground on the back of a cart/thela, most likely with a donkey pulling it! No one attended her funeral. She made a few Hindi movies and also starred in the Punjabi dharmic movie "Nanak Naan Jahaz Hai" those who have seen the movie will probably remember her face. I don't think it would be inaccurate to say that millions of women who had dreams to become "actresses" and "models" have ended up like this girl over the decades. Including many girls from Sikh families. The number of times I have read about British Punjabi girls who want to become models and actresses, end up blackmailed, selling drugs and prostituting themselves. The usual scenario is they come across a guy who tells they they "know" a modeling/acting agent, but first they need to do them some "favours" , and you all know what happens next ... Don't know when women will learn, and think with their heads and not with their emotions. Stuff like this has been happening for decades. Tragic life: Vimi's dead body was pushed in a thela to the cremation ground Vimi became a household name in the late 60s after debuting in the Raj Kumar and Sunil Dutt starrer, Humraaz. Made under B. R Chopra’s banner, it also featured the stunning Mumtaz. With an assortment of stars, made by the Chopras, the film released to rave reviews, earned massively at the box office and landed the debutant Vimi among the stars. Vimi’s accidental entry into showbiz was surprising, unconventional, and also unfortunate, for this one move proved to be the beginning of her tragic end. Hailing from a non-filmy background, Vimmi had graduated from Sophia College, Mumbai, with a degree in psychology. She was a trained singer who would frequently participate in All India Radio Bombay's programs. Introduced to B R Chopra by music director Ravi, she bagged the role in Humraaz effortlessly. Speaking highly of her in a 1967 interview, BR Chopra praised his new find as, "intelligent, educated and grasps things quickly.” This leaves us wondering why the filmmaker never cast her again, despite the blockbuster status of their first and only film together. Chopra’s detachment prompted her existential crisis in the industry. She lost her credibility and her career saw a downward spiral after the release and tanking of the big-budgeted and highly anticipated Aabroo. Even artists like Nirupa Roy and Ashok Kumar could do nothing to salvage it. Vimmi signed a few more films opposite Shashi Kapoor, but failed to establish herself as a bankable actress. In the less than 10 films she did, Vimi manifested herself as a leading lady with charm and artistic skills. While Patanga released in 1971 barely did moderate business, her 1974 release with Shashi Kapoor again, Vachan, failed to ring any bells. Though movie offers were drying up, Vimi would keep herself relevant through her style sense which was on par with stars of old Hollywood. She was dressed to the nines, on and off screen, and captured a sizeable portion of her audience’s memories by posing in glamorous avatars for filmy glossies. A rarity of the age, she had even dared the bikini for a photoshoot, a bold move that set tongues wagging. With almost all films failing at the ticket window, she declared she wasn’t doing films for money, she had plenty of it, which was evident from her lifestyle that included a vast wardrobe, luxury drives and expensive jackets. But truth is often far from what meets the eyes. Her personal life was stuck in a whirlwind too. Unlike most actresses of Bollywood, Vimi entered the industry when she was already married and a mother of two. The pretty girl from a Punjabi Sikh family had strained ties with her parents after falling in love with a Calcutta-based Marwari businessman, Shiv Agarwal. She never got their blessings when she tied the knot with him against her parents consent. Her in-laws were the only family she had left, but she ended up spoiling these remaining relations with her decision to enter showbiz. Her husband, she claimed, supported her and was producing movies for her, but the films she listed never saw the light of day. Was she lying or was she hallucinating: guess we'll never know. What we got to know long after she was gone, is, the couple had separated long back. Within 7 years into the industry, Vimi found herself jobless, and was living with a small-time film broker who had been exploiting her in all ways imaginable. As the riches depleted, the once proud owner of designer dresses and sports cars, stood penniless, forced into prostitution. To seek respite, she took to alcohol; the cheap and toxic kind, as the means were scarce. Excessive and incessant drinking decayed her body. Gradually she developed fatal liver complications and succumbed to it at the age of 34. Already lost in oblivion, no one in Bollywood remembered her, or mourned her death. She died a pauper in the general ward of Nanavati Hospital, and her dead body reached the cremation ground in a thela, attended by none. It was later revealed that she was a victim of domestic abuse; and her husband was regularly hostile with her, before leaving her for good. Not forgiven even in death, she was character assassinated by a friend who slandered her in an obituary published in the Ananda Bazar Patrika. Calling her death a great pain reliever, the writer addressed her as one "with the roving eye who went out without her husband in the fond hope that some producer or actor will make her an offer" and justified her agony and suffering for the “sin” of not complying with societal norms and trying to create a world of her own.

Its so pathetic when that happens, when celebs say or do something bad and then they make a video, which is normally just an act, like that recent Gurdas Mann video and his sob story, and then all a sudden they're accepted and back again.

I think Jay Sean's done alright for himself, he's carved out a niche and stuck to it. he moved on with his career whereas Juggy D stayed where he was. It's really disappointing that Juggy D hasn't been called out by other artist's, i suppose everyone has something to hide, but if it's true that he beat up his wife then he needs to be called out on it not what is likely to happen which is him making an apology video and people say "Oh, he's not that bad really, look, he's sorry for what he did" and then accept him back into the fold, the man need's to f**k right off.

Yeah I don't follow the UK Bhangra scene anymore but when I was a kid I used to listen to this lot! I'm hoping this is the beginning of more Bhangra artists getting exposed, because like you said, behind the scenes its just as bad as any other entertainment industry. Women, drugs etc He had quit a decent voice ... Was Jay Sean from Southall too? He did quite well for himself. Though I'm not sure why his career didn't take off in the US. he had everything going for him, lil wayne signed him on, his single "down" was probably one of the biggest singles of the year, he had the image etc I'm guessing he was forced to do the whole illuminati crap and other things one has to do in that industry but he refused, so he didn't make it. Regardless, much better than this wife beating, cheating scum!

The guys always been a coke head, all you need to do is go around Southall and ask about him, he was allegedly offering his gold Kara as payment for "services", Rishi Rich and Jay Sean went there own ways but he stayed where he was riding on the coat tails of a few songs, i feel sorry for his kids in all of this. There's loads of crap like this in the music industry, we used to film wedding's and concerts in the past and the amount of singer's that would be doing line's before coming on stage was ridiculous, these were guys that had young fan's who looked up to them, some things never change.

Yeah I really don't understand why people are getting married if they can't stick with one person. I think their parents pressure them into it. Looking at the way Punjabi marriages turn out these days, marriage obviously isn't for everyone, perhaps people should take cue from that before deciding to get married. People should just stick to dating tbh ... The first divorce in my family was around 15 years back and my cousins ex wife said that "it was better when we were dating" Before considering marriage people should take a look at themselves in the mirror and be honest, is marriage really for them ...

Yes, that's true. Many nri males marry Indian females thinking they would be virgin.... Not anymore... Even in punjab, kaam has ruined the morals of the society.

A few classic Bollywood are also on Netflix.

Hanji I have come through this in my life too. One day a blessed bhai sahib ji in a sikhi camp wanted to tie a dastaar on me, and everyday he saw me, bhai sahib ji would pull me to follow him to tie a dastaar on me. At that moment, 2 years back i didn't knew how much I would want a dastaar on my head now. I refused alot. I feel really bad tho. But, here I am 2 years later struggling to tie a dastaar and hoping maharaj will bless me to have his crown on my head. I think maharaj here is teaching us something. We definitely learnt from mistakes. If I ever had the chance to take amrit, I really would. I am in tears imagining the day when I take amrit. I can't wait! ?

Reading pyaar bhariya messages made me in tears. Maharaj kirpa karan & thank you so much for the reply. I always believe that whatever the sangat replies, that is what guru maharaj is trying to say. Dhanwaad apaar jio

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa Vaheguru ji ki fateh Bhenji, don't worry just have patience.Amrit is such a beautiful daat that it makes us thirst for it.Tying a dastaar comes with time.Just stay in Chardikala and continue doing your nitnem.It really helps.Simran as well.Simran gives alot of Anand. Maharaj is all-knowing.He knows that you want Amrit Daat.He will give it when He feels right.After all Maharaj Ji is our Guru Pita.Our Father knows when is best.Just continue having faith. Bhul Chuk Maf ?
