AMRITSAR: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee ( SGPC ) and Sikh women leadership have objected to Bollywood actress and one-time porn star Sunny Leone ’s upcoming web series ‘Karenjit Kaur: The Untold Story of Sunny Leone’.  They are upset with producers using ‘Kaur’ in the series. 

SGPC’s additional secretary and spokesperson Diljit Singh Bedi said on Friday, “Kaur is a very respectable name given by Sikh gurus to Sikh women.  A person who didn’t follow the teachings of Sikh Gurus shouldn’t use the word Kaur as this could hurt Sikh religious feelings.  Sikhs will not allow her to use it.  She should tender a public apology.” 

Echoing similar views, president of the Istri Akali Dal, Bibi Jagir Kaur, said, “She is using the word Kaur for making her biopic a success, unaware of the fact that the same could hurt Sikh religious sentiments.”
