Muqudar,
You don't want to tread on that one. The hero list could be endless.
Here is a starter:
Akshaye Khanna, Bobby deol, Akshay kumar, Anil kapoor, Chandrachur,
Ajay devgan, Sunny Deol, Sanjay dutt, kumar Gaurav,...the list goes on......
In the past: Dharmendra, Dev Anand, the Kapoor Khandaan starting from
Prithviraj Kapoor,Rajendra Kumar, Jeetendra, Vinod Khanna, Rajesh Khanna,
Sunil Dutt......
Actresses: Raveena, Karisma, Juhi......
And many directors/producers/supporting actors/actresses are Punjabis too.
Bye

Yeah, you told me you are a Sikh in one of your posts.
> My last name is Singh also like Chandrachur Singh....
Whats your first name ? Is it Muqudar ?

Now this is a bit of confusion. All way long, i was thinking she was a
Tamilian but somewhere i came across this story that her father had
connections with some Telugu woman and Sridevi thus came into the picture or
something like that..not very clear. At best, she could be "half Tamil half
Telugu"

Marathi.

Tamilian.

You are wrong there...Govinda is a Sindhi and not punjabi.
Shridhar
My name is Sukhdeep Singh

Same here Shridhar.... I was totally confused also, that is why I asked :o)
I wasn't aware Ahuja is a Sindhi surname too. Govinda's surname is Ahuja. He is
(per Vish Krishnan) the son of Arun Kumar Ahuja (who was a producer/financer)
and singer Nirmala Devi.
Hope this helps.

You're kidding?!!! I have never heard this before. Are you sure?
I think his original name is something Kapoor, and I am pretty definite
he is not a Tamilian.

So why is it, that he's called Chichi? He explained, that at home
they used to call him so, cause he's the youngest one in the family
and Chichi (ciiccii) means "little finger" in PUNJABI language?
His own words ...
