Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh has expressed his dissatisfaction with the way Sikh characters have been portrayed in Hindi cinema. Dosanjh shared his concerns, stating that he decided to dress better than the stereotypical portrayal seen in Bollywood. Dosanjh highlighted the need for more authentic and respectful representation of Sikh characters in Hindi films. He emphasized the importance of breaking stereotypes and showcasing the diversity within the Sikh community.
Diljit discussed what motivated him to concentrate on his fashion game in an interview with Anubhav Bassi for Netflix India while promoting his movie Amar Singh Chamkila.
To be honest, I am not fond of clothes or swag. When we were in Punjab, the Bollywood films made at the time… they didn’t show Sikhs properly. So I decided that when I do Bollywood films, I’ll dress better than all Bollywood stylists. I know fashion,” Diljit said. The artist disclosed that Punjabi street fashion is pretty global, since they adopt all worldwide trends.
