Kapoor family loves Pakistan?

[Snowed]

Whenever I read their interviews, it almost seems like they really love Pakistan. Even last year, when Rishi Kapoor ranted against the Pakistani team, I think he was just doing it for a certain Indian crowd that were following him, later on he came on Pakistani tv to apologize, and just recently he gave some very peaceful statements in which Saqlain Mushtaq commended him but rest of Indians hated him.

I personally think they are dying to visit or even live in Pakistan. I heard even to this day, their home food is exactly Peshawari/Pakistani Punjabi. It is unfortunate people like Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor only visited Pakistan few times. They would have probably loved to stay in Pakistan for a long time. In their interviews they always call it their ancestral homes

 

[akki]

You need to search arnab interview just recently with rishi kapoor on youtube. How arnab insulted and almost called him anti national for saying good things about pakistan.

Indian punjabis dnt have a narrow mentality towards pakistan . Although pakistani punjabis what we watch on your media and comedy shows dnt have big heart and especially towards hindu punjabis.whereas other northern states and maharashtra dnt like you guys that much . I am not including south india.they hardly care.

 

[JaDed]

Liking Pakistani food and wanting to visit Pakistan has nothing to do with living there.

Most people whose ancestral homes are there want to do it , including myself and nothing else to it.

You are making massive assumptions in each thread of yours.

He was insulted and called anti-national just because he said a few nice things about Pakistan? That is a dangerous trend especially considering Arnab is one of the more popular "journalist " in India,

[PakLFC]

No the Kapoor's do not love Pakistan at all. I think there home in Peshawar has been partly demolished anyway not that we needed to ask them or they care. As I often say those carrying the burden of pre independence have almost all died out. Both countries are free to build or demolish whatever they want including former homes of celebrities. Rishi was telling Arnab that if we attack and kill Pakistanis then they will do the same. No one is inviting any Bollywood actor to Pakistan.

That's sad, I thought Pakistan was bad but many in Pakistani media have complimented India without being insulted or declared a traitor.

I guess Pakistan isn't as bad as I thought but still there is room for improvement.

I have watched plenty of pakistani media and indian media. Pakistani media is not anti india that much.. Its many times anti hindu.. i have heard hindu this ..hindus that by pakistani anchors or guests mouth.but yeah i have seen some anchors or guests praising india as well and not being called traitor too..
Comparing to indian media. Its mostly anti pakistan tgese days.. Its not anti muslims but.... Anyone advocating peace or praising pakistan these days ,higher chances of that wud be called anti national...

Yeah I have noticed some anti-Hindu stuff in the Pakistani media as well, it's not common but even a little is too much. Media shapes people's perception so hopefully media on both sides starts acting more responsibly.

Wow, by that logic, Kashmiris, Dogris, Ladakhis, Punjabis, Gujaratis, Rajasthanis, Haryanvis, Himachalis, Paharis, UP-MP-Bihar people, Northeastern tribes are all Dravidians! Those 3 million Sindhis in India are Dravidian as well.

Genetically it aint that diverse. Results after results have shown 98 % of Indians having huge amounts Asi/Dravidian genes. Kashmiries or North Easterners not included, they are really not Indian

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I don't really see why Kapoors should feel any hankering for Pakistan but these things are sometimes hard to shake. Despite me being hated by most Indians on here due to being a double agent via both Pakistan and Britain, I still feel some sad connection to Jullundar even though I've never set foot their, neither do I want to.

Kapoors must look at the faces of the folk in Peshawar and see their reflection while waving the saffron flag chantind down with Pakistan, must be kind of confusing.

I'm a Kashmiri, last time I checked we were Indians too. In fact, Kashmiris have a much higher ASI component than Pashtuns and we are closer to neighboring North Indian and Pakistani populations (Pakistani Punjabis and Sindhis) than we are to Pashtuns.

The pandits had a higher ASI component, many pandits have mixed with Indians, they definatly look more Indian then pure muslim kashmiries.

What is this ASI component and what are its benefits?

 

[rexbamezai]

And where did you get this information from? Any source? I said Kashmiris have a higher ASI component based on the Harappa Ancestry Project results.

not necessarily, many Pandits and Muslims are pretty similar , interestingly many Punjabi tribes like arains and Jatts and many Sindhis have less ASI than Kashmiris but former are darker , this means there are many other factors involving as well in addition to ASI levels.

Of course the pain of partition must have been brutal for those who migrated both sides of the border. All the oldies must be missing their ancestral homes, neighborhoods, schools, colleges etc and the Kapoors are no exceptions. Pretty sure even many PPers here have talked about wanting to visit their ancestral places in North India, their previous generation will be even more attached to these kind of things. My grandfather in his last days reminisced a lot about his ancestral village which was in a neighboring state, hardly 400 km from his new place, besides he visited his village a few times even as late as 4 years back. So I can understand the pain many old North Indians and Pakistanis feel, a couple of generation down the line hopefully the pain will disappear permanently.

 

[rexbamezai]

I have only ever met eight "Muslim" Kashmiris in real life so the sample size isn't very big but from what I've observed I don't think they look any different from us. Obviously those who have mixed with other Indian groups will look a little different, but AFAIK most Kashmiri Pandits haven't mixed with other groups yet. This definitely won't be true 20 years later though.

 

[Snowed]

Arians and Jatts are outsiders that mixed with indics at some point. A lot of jatts clearly look from outside. However they are not a mainstream indian population. They dont even make 0.001% of indian population. Sindhis were probably different from Indians since the indus valley civilization time. They are west asian shifted. Kashmiries overall have much higher steepe component according to the latest numbers. Im not talking abour pandits who have mixed

Yes, hopefully this obsession of the migratory people for their ancestral homes will die forever after this last generation. If the new generation also feels nostalgic about their villages they are welcome to move to where their heart lies.

Regarding the point about Kapoors loving Pakistan, isn't that how it should be especially among civilized folk? More Indians should learn to love Pakistan and vice versa, there is so much ignorance among the masses (even educated ones !!!) about each other's country/culture/religion that it is downright embarrassing. Too many hawks on both sides of the border, too much propaganda by vested interests, too much suspicion. Don't know about Pakistanis but urge fellow Indians to boycott merchants of hate sitting in our TV studios, you know who I'm talking about.

This is a hot topic for research atm. Presumably the IVC people were of Dravidian origin who got pushed inside interior landmass by the invading Aryans. Some stayed back in Balochistan and probably that explains the link.

So you think I am uncivilized because I don't love Pakistan? This is the propaganda by vested interests who don't tolerate a difference in opinion and apply labels if you don't follow their rules. No way, no how, no mccain am I going to love Pakistan and don't need a certificate of civility from you. First learn to love all indians irrespective of their differences and then speak about loving Pakistan.

Among that generation there is no pain,just anger, Go and ask Punjab Association members in Chennai every year they host a gathering,hardly any older generation remaining alive though.

Your population figure on jats is completly wrong . even the nationalistic jat website , jatland says it can not be more then 3 crore. God knows how many fake jats there are. The problem in India is there is no accountabilty who is real, who is not. Similarly there are so many Sri Lankan looking Pathans in India, clearly they cannot be releated to real pashtuns. The jats that are testing their dna are probably real ones, this is why they are showing less ASI, but there are too many dravidian fake groups in India, who just call themselved jatt, pathan etc...

So? In Pakistani average Punjabis have the highest ASI, but thats because recent admixture with Indians over the last 500 years or so. Sindhi didnt mix with Indians a lot, this is why their ASI is much lower then average punjabi. Overall Pakistan is much more steepe and West Asian shifted then 98 % of Indians

Shakti Kapoor was advised to change his name for bollywood because there was already a big actor with a name Sunil Dutt. Some of these indian actors seek astrologers help and get their names changed only for movies. Their passport, bank statements, aadhar card still have their real names.

I can go on and on with this. But these are some names I remember on top of my head.

You really follow the naqli duniya very closely if you remember these names on top of your head. Impressed. But please don't try to make it sound that muslim names were acceptable in the past. The hindu actors changed their screen name to a hindu name. Why did the muslim actors also have to change to a hindu name?

It was only after Imran Khan that Khan surname became fashionable and we had shahrukhs and salman's not having to hide their surname for a hindu audience.

Damn I had to google that up. I had no idea. Don’t think he really had to change his name though. He was a good actor and would have made it big either way. In this case he ended up being a legend.

You weren't even aware of his background, how could you have any idea of that era or why name changes were necessary to succeed in Bollywood back then?

I do follow the nakli dunya but not nakli posters like you. Ja bhai aage ja...

The nakli poster hit a nerve it seems. I don't know why it is such a sensitive spot, that was then, might be better to acknowledge it and at least take solace that things have improved. as one of our biggest Bollywood experts on PP would say, things are getting better.

Please explain why did the actors which I have listed above changed their names?

That nakli poster has a history of changing his opinion like a chameleon in every thread. Guys like him have a Rajnikant Poster in their bedrooms but still make fun of their color and acting on forums.

It seems you know quite a lot about that era. Please share the real reasons why they changed their names.

Bro, the hindu actors changing their name to hindu screen names is fine. I just asked why did muslim actors also have to change to hindu screen names? They could have changed to Muslim screen names, no?

Why didn't Kader Khan, Javed Akhtar, Salim Khan, Shabana Azmi, Naseruddin Shah change their names then? These are all big and successful names.

Shows intellectual bankruptcy when you answer a question with a question. The names you mentioned were actors in 1970s ( some of them not even camera facing actors). What about from 1940s till 1970s?

Are you talking to yourself? You were the one who asked a question rather than giving an answer first.

I was the first to ask a question. You had no answer so you asked me politely to get lost. When I insisted you replied with a question, which I answered showing magnanimity and courtesy. Now please answer, why didn't muslim actors who changed their name, changed to muslim screen names?

To make them more acceptablel to the anti-Muslim population is the obvious answer, don't know why you feel it something you have to dance around. Let me make it easy for you: because of the recent memories of partition and subsequent wars, anyone with a Pakistan connection would not be welcomed by all. It doesn't sound so bad when you can look at it objectively does it?

Don't act like a akal ka andha now. I never quoted you in this thread first. I posted my opinion. You quoted me and posted your usual gibberish for seeking attention. I already gave a list of hindu actors changing their names for nakli dunya and muslim actors who didn't change their names but still succeeded and have a huge fan following.

If you and your captain have a proof that muslim actors changed their names to hindu names for a successful career in Bollywood do post them. I am ready to be proven wrong here. Any video or article where they accepted that they changed their names to hindu names to be successful in bollywood will do.

Ok. Do you feel that the situation for muslims have improved in India now that none of the muslim actors change their original names?
