Kapoor family loves Pakistan?

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.

So you concede that I asked the question first. Good.

And your answer is that you don't have an answer and would want us to disprove you, that religion played no role in the actors changing to hindu screen names.

But you made this claim:

[MENTION=146997]Snowed[/MENTION]

This has nothing to do with them being muslims.

Prove your claim by video or article where they accepted it had nothing to do with their religion.

 

[CricketCartoons]

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

Definitely Muslims are more assertive of their identity now than earlier and don't mind speaking up.

Proofs? I already proved it by giving a list of hindu actors also changing their names. Scroll below that line may be then you will see. I didn't make that up like you are doing here. Use google and find their names and prove me wrong.

You have no answer to why kader khan, naseeruddin shah or even mohammed rafi didn't change their names to hindu names. I have given you solid proofs of both hindu actors changing their names and muslim actors retaining their real names and still succeeding. What you have given me is just your assumption of why they changed their names. You have no proof. If you have then post here I am happy to be proven wrong here.

Yes, although there is still an obvious bias in when there is a cross cultural love interest story, the male lead will be Hindu and the female Muslim, not sure we will see that changing much in the future with all the fuss about love jihad. At this point no doubt some Bollywood patriot will pop up to give some obscure film as an example where the male lead is Muslim, but it is the general theme I am talking about.

Not really obscure..

Shahrukh's My name is Khan

Hrithik Roshan's Jodha Akbar

National Award Winning Manoj Bajpai's Pinjar

Vidya Balan, Nasseudhin shah's Ishqiya

Konkana Sen Sharma's Mr and Mrs. Iyer

Amir Khan's PK ( A hindu Anushka, And a Muslim Pakistani Sushanth)

And 2015's one of the biggest south Indian movies...and 2nd highest Collected Malayalam Movie of all "Ennu Ninte Moideen " ....

Not even including movies like total Siyappa or Annayum Rasoolum !!

You Watch something with a rose Tinted Glass....You find everything Rose Tinted !!

My my..I see the challenge in first making you understand. Let me try.

You gave a list of hindu actors changing to hindu screen names.
You did not give a list of muslim actors changing to muslim screen names.

My question is why did muslim actors have to change their name to hindu screen names. ( the keyword is bolded).

All you did provide was that muslims changed their names, but hindus changed their names too, so there was no religion involved.. or examples of few muslim actors from 1970s who did not change their names, which does not answer the above question.

Religion is clearly involved, because you don't see hindu actors changing to muslim screen names, or muslim actors changing to muslim screen names. It is only ONE WAY STREET. Where the actor from minority religion has to change to a majority sounding name to get accommodated.

Lol you are looking desperate now. According to you religion is clearly involved? Are you claiming this? Prove it.

Not sure how does an actor from a minority religion benefit by changing his name to a hindu sounding name. When both the directors and fans knew it already and still followed them. Or may be do you think that fans those days were dumb and didn't know that Dilip Kumar is actually a muslim? Or Mohammed Rafi is a hindu name?

I am only making the claim based on facts.

Facts show that hindu actors didnt change to muslim screen names, but only muslim actors changed to hindu screen names.

Why this preference for hindu screen names?

So you watch bollywood films ?

I would have believed your claim if other muslim actors have also changed their names to hindu screen names. But we have a long list of muslim actors who didn't change their names to hindu screen names, still got success and were accepted by the audience.

Few hindu actors just to get married also changed their religion. Example : Dharmendra and Hema Malini. If the audience at that time were against muslim actors and narrow minded they would have objected to them also but that didn't happen.

Other names :

Sharmila Tagore
AR Rahman ( real name Dilip Kumar lol)
Amrita Singh
Divya Bharti

Did that affect their careers? A big no.

No, that's why I haven't heard of most of the films in IgnitedMind's list except for My Name is Khan.

This constant ranting about "the look" of ethnic groups and how light skinned they are is cringeworthy.

Some people on this forum have some serious soul searching to do about their self worth as people
