I hope Punjabis have woken up to the reality of these "punjabi" Bollywood actors. Akshay Kumar has made a career out of playing the role of a Punjabi in his movies, Singh is King, then the sequel, Saragarhi, Namaste London etc. The shameless Deols made a career out of portraying themselves as "Punjabi gabroos" the "he-men of Bollywood"  Sunny Deols biggest movie is Gaddar, a movie set in Punjab 1947, the movie saved his career.

Now these celebs have shown what they really think of Punjabis, and where their priority is.

I wonder how much political influence Dharmendras second wife Hema Malini has over the Deols. She is a BJP politician and Modi fan girl. She spent years campaigning for BJP.

She's a very rude woman and has been in the news many times for her bad behavior. Her driver ran a little slum boy over and the kid died, yet this arrogant woman got most of the news stories because of her injuries, the poor kid that died only got a mention.

 

The amount of importance that these arrogant celebrities are given in India is ridiculous. The public worship them, they are like living Gods. Honestly idol worship has destroyed Indians. Its gotten to their heads. 

The Bollywood actors of Punjabi origin only remember their Punjabi roots when it suits them. 

Wonder how many of them have been blackmailed (by GOI /secret services) for something-they did  in their past, hence they have no choice but to follow orders ?

how strong is the ‘mafia’ in India, do they /GOI control most of these ‘celebs’?

Probably the Indian equivalent of Jeffrey Epstein inviting these celebrities over to his sprawling compound, offering them underage kids, and then filming the results for blackmail. Jaffar Ekta? ?

Interesting article on it, not sure how old it is.

MUMBAI, Jun 13 (Reuters) - Hitmen shooting police informers, mafia bosses collecting protection money from Bollywood actors and producers -- it could be a movie script.

But the rise in criminal activity in India's financial hub is all too real and it has police and other officials worried that India's notorious mafia gangs have regrouped.

Over a decade ago, police eradicated mafia gangs from Mumbai after a series of bombings in the city in 1993 -- blamed on the underworld -- killed 257 people.

But judging from a spate of recent crimes -- including the shooting of a police informant in a crowded bar two weeks ago -- the mob is back.

This time it appears to be a new generation of young mob bosses bent on making a name for themselves who are trying to cash in on a property boom in Mumbai and a cash-flush Bollywood, the world's largest film industry by ticket sales which is headquartered in Mumbai.

"The level of underworld activity has gone up in the past few months," said S. Hussain Zaidi, who authored a book on the 1993 serial bombings.

Besides known mafia dons who terrorised Mumbai in the past, younger gangsters have risen to fill a vacuum created after a determined campaign by police forced the old mob to lie low.

Now, Mumbai's notorious mafia -- said to be remote controlled by bosses based in Dubai, Karachi and Malaysia -- is reviving itself, police say, as gangs find it difficult to resist the spoils of India's booming economy.

Mumbai has been in the thick of a national real estate explosion with new shopping malls, apartment blocks and entertainment plazas being built over the last three years.

For Bollywood, the past two years have been its best ever with filmmakers making huge profits and actors bagging enormous fees.

Last month, a mob boss boasted on a national television channel that three Bollywood personalities, including two top filmmakers, were on his hit list because they were refusing to pay him protection money.

Police say they have arrested at least five assassins on contract killing missions in recent months and received an increased number of complaints of extortion calls.

Two weeks ago, a young man was shot dead in a crowded bar, the latest among several police informants killed recently.

"Let's not generalise, but there could be some more instances of criminal activity than the previous years," Mumbai's police chief, D.N. Jadhav, told Reuters. "There are some particular cases where the underworld activity has come to our notice."

In the 1990s, Mumbai, then known as Bombay, faced a tide of mafia killings, abductions and extortion demands with rich builders and Bollywood being the prime targets.

But during a decade of violent confrontations, police busted hideouts and shot dead at least 350 suspected gangsters, breaking the back of gangs and sending mobsters on the run.

TURF WARS

This time, the problem has compounded because younger gangsters are increasingly trying to establish their turf and grab a share of the booty, Zaidi said.

"They want publicity. They want people to know them, fear them. And they are preparing to take on the bigger dons."

While the Bollywood set has always been an easy target, gangs are now attracted by Mumbai's property business, one of the hottest in the world where real estate prices equal those in New York or Tokyo.

The mafia's nexus with Mumbai's builders and Bollywood is a badly kept secret.

While some builders turn to gangsters to secure prime real estate, settle disputes and even bump off rivals, many Bollywood producers have borrowed money from the mafia and even used it to entice box-office actors to perform in their films, police say.

Realising the kind of big money involved in both the construction and the movie industry, the mafia has even began bankrolling projects.

The police began cracking down on Mumbai's mafia after the 1993 bombings in Mumbai, India's worst, which were blamed on a Muslim crime boss and India's most wanted man, Dawood Ibrahim.

The bombings, police say, were to avenge the demolition of an important mosque by Hindu zealots and the subsequent riots between Hindus and Muslims.

After the attacks, Mumbai's authorities hit back, giving a free hand to a specialised team of crime-busters who worked informers and wielded their guns to administer justice.

But police raids have lessened in recent years following allegations that some specialist crime-busters took mob money and routinely killed gangsters, often claiming the killings happened during non-existent gun battles.

Some officers were suspended, investigations were launched against others and shootouts were discouraged.

"An officer will now think twice before firing," said a crime branch officer who did not want to be named.

"This has emboldened criminals."

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
