Sikhs felt betrayed by the committee as it was clear that the "stars" and film crew were treated with more reverence than Sangat Guru Sahib and Maryada. [LEFT] [COLOR=#808080] [IMG]http://www.sikhsangat.org/uploads/post-3632-1158187843.jpg[/IMG][/COLOR] [/LEFT] When Sikhs tried to advise the film crew of Sikh Maryada they were blocked by large numbers of Police and Security. At times Sangat was even denied entry to the Gurudwara as the "stars" needed rest and they did not want to be disturbed. [LEFT] [COLOR=#808080] [/COLOR] [/LEFT] Many Sikhs feel hurt by films recorded by Bollywood in India as a high proportion tend to portray them in a negative light. Members of the ethnic minority community say that they are usually stereotyped as violent drunks that spend all day dancing to "bhangra". Actors and extras are seen with fake beards, fake turbans and other mock-ups to put Sikhs at the receiving end of most of the jokes. Local Sikhs, angered with the Committee, were left with one question: who is it that we worship?
