Gurdas Maan At Narakhdari Smagam

[jkvlondon]

There are several sources on the web and pictures of his marriage certificate where he states Muslim as his religion. He is in fact an Arya Samaj follower that has had a negative impact on impressionable Sikhs.

After turning down marriage proposals from Sanjeev Kumar and Jeetendra, she met with hot fellow actor, Dharmendra, both were attracted to each other and wanted to get married. Dharmendra, who was already married to Prakash Kaur, and had two sons, Sunny and Bobby, could not marry Hema as Prakash refused to divorce him. According to the Hindu Marriage Act, a Hindu cannot marry a second time while the first wife is still alive. Dharmendra belongs to a Arya Samaj Hindu Punjabi Jatt family.

On August 21, 1979, both Hema and Dharmendra converted to Islam, changed their names to Aisha Bi R. Chakravarty and Dilawar Khan Kewal Krishn respectively, and got married in accordance with Islamic rites. Three years after their marriage, Hema subsequently gave birth to Esha and then later to Ahana. Esha is an actress in her own rights. The trio, well proficient in the arts of Bharatnatyam dance form, have performed together at a number of dance events and concerts.

Ok just for convenience of getting married ...I'm guessing they didn't follow it otherwise that would have put the cat amongst the pigeons for Prakash Kaur and her sons.

I will never understand why we put some much importance on what the like's of Gurdas Mann do, the truth is that in our culture and community once people reach a certain level of celebrity they will put their name to anything and to be honest Gurdas Mann is a singer and entertainer, he's hardly someone who has stood up for Sikh values, if he wants to support the Nirankhari sect then that's up to him, it's more likely that he was paid for doing it, the sad thing is that a lot of people in the Punjabi community (not all) see some singer or actor following one path and decide it must be right for them, it's the old sheep mentality.

dharmendra became a muslim ? that doesn't make sense his second wife was hindu besides sikhi allows more than one wife incertain circumstances ...are you sure ?

Where did you get this story from that Sikhi allows more than one wife in certain circumstances. And quite strange that you didn't know that Dharmendra became a Muslim to marry Hema Malini.

the lack of knowledge about dharmendra's life is because i have my own ...

my Great-grandfather's younger brother was married for over two decades and had no children , he then had another marriage after his wife insisted and had children in that marriage as far as I have been told he still looked after both wives and children.

Yes, even during the kharkoo era, some singhs took on anotha wife, jagraj singh mentioned it, during 1 of his talks. Many women joined up with kharkoos, but due to panjabi culture, of charcha/chuglis, of un-married women roamin around with men, it wouldnt look right. So some married singhs whom already had wives.

Even some of the gurus had more than 1 wives, but that didnt mean they had relations with them (kids). Many ppl wud offer their daughters to the gurus, even if they were already married. The problem was, that if the gurus turned down these extra women, then those women wud b never have marriage proposals from others, coz of rejections, jus anotha stupid asian tradition. Unlike other lusty/horny prophets/gurus, our guru no matter how many wives they had, only had relations with 1.

Dharmendra converted to Islam only in name, he does not practise the faith. He did it to have two wives at the same time because he did not want to divorce his previous wife. He was born to a Sikh mother (Satwant Kaur) and Arya Samaj influenced father of a Sikh background (Kewal Krishan Singh Deol).

Gurdas Mann is an entertainer (read: kanjar) and will go anywhere where he gets money. Him dancing with jhanjars at Muslim deras like a courtesan and supporting the likes of KP Gill make him unworthy of being called a Sikh. He is a disgrace.

Even Dara Singh was close to the Gandhis. He also paid homage to known Hindu extremist Harbans Lal Khanna.

The only person in Bollywood with a heart of gold was Sunil Dutt (a Hindu Punjabi). He protested against the human rights violations in Punjab and walked from Mumbai to Amritsar.

When mentioning Guru Sahib it is not right for us to compare what they did with what is allowed for us.

As for this joker, many low lives in history had dharmic names, unfortunately it has no bearing on ones character.

Dharminders change of religion to facilitate his second marriage was because previous wife was sick of his many affairs and refused to sign a divorce paper.
