There are like dozens and dozens of Indian actors and actresses who are PUNJABIS (many of them who have their roots in Pakistan). Bollywood have always been dominated by PUNJABIS, followed by PUSHTUNS... Only, in recent years, people from other states have significantly started to show up in Bollywood... I don't have time to post the pictures and profile of each and every PUNJABI IN BOLLYWOOD

Believe me, it wilL take me WHOLE DAY TO DO THAT... HERE ARE SOME OTHER PUNJABIS :-

Dharmendra, Raj Kapoor (hindu khatri Punjabi), Celina Jeitley (Half Pashtoon/Half punjabi), Juhi Chawla, Bindu, Saira Bano, Vinod Khanna, Rajesh Khanna, Shammi Kapoor, Bindu, Lara Dutta (Miss Universe), Priyanka Chopra (Half Punjabi, Half Tamilian, another Miss World), Shahsi Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, Rakesh Roshan, Harman Baweja, Rahul Khanna, Akshay Khanna, Twinkle Khanna... There are so manyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Punjabis... that I can never make a complete list of them..

What about Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun, Rajnikanth, Hema Malini, Aishwarya Rai, Waheeda Rehman, Rekha....(None of them of Punjabi root)

Are you going to count them as well?

BTW, it seems you know some Indians too well than many Indians, indeed.

Amitabh Bachan is Punjabi... Born in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, Amitabh Bachchan hails from a Hindu-Sikh family. His father, Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan was a well-known Hindi poet, while his mother, Teji Bachchan was a Sikh-Punjabi from Faisalabad (now in Pakistan).

Yes, but compared to other states Punjabis only make 3% of Indian Population.. and yet they dominate Bollywood...

I haven't started on Lollywood.. which is again dominated by Punjabis.. but then in Pakistan Punjabis make up the majority.. So no need to bring beautiful Pakistani actresses from 1940s, 1950s and 1960s in this discussion :rofl:
 
why how comes bollywood industry came in this thread. The first few pages were about Occupied Kashmir if i am not wrong?

Okay, you simply cannot be defeated in this argument. But I for sure know that you do not need to be a Punjabi to be good looking, for I am a living example of that. And I also observe people around me who are so good looking, yet not necessarily hail from those "higher" regions. :)

That is why I suggested that you visit India and then make any conclusions.
 
This thread is getting so interesting .. K to Bollywood ... next what ...

Bring it on Jinxed Girl :cheers:.
 
Here are some more Punjabis :-

Raj Babbar, Priya Rajvansh, Naseem Pari Chehra (popular actress of the 40s, She is the mom of Saira Bano and was given the official title of "Pari Chehra" meaning fairy face), Poonam Dhillion, Premnath, Bina Roy, Rajendra Kumar, Aaho Chashm Raagini (another actress of the 40s who was given the title of "Aaho Chasm")...

Punjabis, Punjabis everywhere... lol!

Oh! I am so proud to be a PUNJABI! FEELS SO GOOD! THAT WE DOMINATE LOLLYWOOD AND BOLLYWOOD! LOL! :rofl:
 
Well that K is also in now in India :azn:

You mean you are just holding on to him much like Kashmir & Khalistan;)

But what about lacking the Big K of knowledge to address these issues.:azn:
